to Tijuana

Mexico is a country of warm, welcoming people, known for our hospitality toward visitors. Tijuana is especially open and visitor-friendly because of its location right on the U.S. border with Southern California and because of the proximity to its sister city, San Diego.

In fact, San Diego and Tijuana share the most-crossed border in the world, with people, culture and commerce flowing easily back and forth every day. Tijuana is not only easy to visit, it’s a worry-free getaway far removed from the political tensions and concerns that trouble many other vacation destinations today.

But Mexico is still a foreign country, and any visit abroad will go more smoothly if you know a little about your destination’s climate, customs and laws in advance. Here are some of the more important things you should know when visiting us.
