Known for its stunning beaches, Mayan ruins and charming towns, Mexico is a very popular destination for travellers. Saying that, many potential visitors can have some concerns about the safety of the country - mostly due to stories of violent crime, often the result of organised crime and drug cartels.
Despite this, there are many parts of Mexico which are not only safe to visit, but are friendly places with beautiful surroundings. Just keep in mind that there are some precautions you should take while travelling to Mexico - stick to well-lit areas at night, leave your passport in your room, and don’t carry excess cash on you.
When out at night, keep an eye on your drinks, don't walk home alone at night, and stay away from drugs (they are readily available on the streets).
If you take these basic precautions and choose your destinations well, you should have a fun and safe trip to Mexico. Here are just a few of the safer cities in Mexico which are well worth visiting.
