Mexico'Peak season begins around the end of October – corresponding to Day of the Dead – through March, depending on Anaïs Martinez, food blogger and city food guide. But in June, the city begins to empty and visitors are wary of the rainy season which lasts until September. “There's hardly anyone here, so you're not going to run into a bunch of tourists everywhere,” Martinez said.
Given the scorching temperatures of recent summers in North America, “they think it's too hot or it's going to rain all day,” Martinez said. Use this misconception to your advantage and visit during the summer. Although rain can be expected, “it rains for forty-five minutes and then everything goes back to normal,” she said.
Olivia Villanti, founder of the fashion brand Studio Chava in Mexico City, also recommends the month of March, when the days are warm and the evenings cool. A bonus for art lovers: “Many exhibitions going up during Arts Week are still in effect until the end of March or beginning of April,” Villanti says. “You get to see some of the cool things happening, but you also don’t have to deal with the crowds, inflated prices and reservations needed at every restaurant.”
