Warm days give way to cool evenings and mornings—pack layers! These are typical seasonal temperatures, not a forecast for our wedding weekend. Check the forecast before you leave.

San Miguel sits at about 6,200 feet. Take it easy as you settle in, drink plenty of water, and bring sunscreen and a hat.

Getting Around

Centro is the walkable heart of the city, full of restaurants, shops, and rooftops. Many places are close enough to explore on foot, though cobblestones, hills, and uneven sidewalks make comfortable shoes a good idea. For longer trips or a ride home, ask your hotel to arrange a taxi or check Uber availability.

We recommend skipping a rental car for a stay centered around town: streets are narrow and parking can be tricky. Book airport transfers in advance, and arrange a driver for wineries or activities outside the city.

Transportation will not be provided for wedding events. Please arrange your own rides to and from each celebration.

Exploring the City

Check opening hours, reservations, and transportation directly with each venue before heading out.

Restaurants

Tostévere

Tiny, cozy, and a wonderful spot for dinner. Be sure to book ahead.

Atrio

One of our favorites—great food and a beautiful view of the Parroquia.

Centro has so many beautiful rooftops to discover. Leave a little time to find a favorite of your own.

A few things to pack

Daytime exploring

Comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, a sun hat, and a reusable water bottle are useful for days out. Bring a light layer for evenings and check the forecast shortly before your April trip.

For the wedding

Saturday’s wedding is black tie. Pack your formalwear and any accessories you will need. The welcome party will be cocktail attire.

Drinking water & spending

Choose bottled or properly purified drinking water and ask your accommodation about its water supply. Mexico’s currency is the peso; check payment options with smaller shops and drivers. More practical travel information.
