FAQs about Taxco Tours
What is the best time of year to visit Taxco for good weather and fewer crowds?
Visit Taxco between December and April for dry, mild weather and fewer tourists. This period follows the rainy season (May–November) and avoids Semana Santa (Holy Week), when prices rise and crowds increase. January and February offer sunny days and cool evenings, ideal for exploring the colonial streets and visiting the Santa Prisca Church without heavy rainfall or large tour groups.
How do I get from Mexico City to Taxco without a car?
Take a bus from Mexico City’s Terminal de Autobuses del Sur to Taxco. Primera Plus and Taxco Rápido operate hourly departures; the trip takes 3–4 hours and costs around 300–400 MXN. Buses are comfortable and secure, with luggage storage. Avoid unmarked colectivos. For safety and convenience, choose daytime departures and book return tickets in advance.
Is Taxco safe for tourists walking at night?
Stick to well-lit, main areas like Plaza Borda and Calle Hidalgo after dark. Avoid poorly lit alleys or unmarked streets, especially uphill from the center. Petty theft occurs, so carry minimal cash and valuables. Most locals are respectful, but stay alert. Travelers report increased police presence in recent years, contributing to improved safety in central zones.
Are credit cards widely accepted in Taxco’s silver shops and small restaurants?
Larger silver boutiques and hotels accept Visa or Mastercard, but many small shops, markets, and family-run fondas prefer cash. Carry enough Mexican pesos for small purchases, tips, and local crafts. ATMs in central Taxco are generally safe to use during daylight. Notify your bank of travel plans to prevent card blocks.
