Morelia is a vibrant city with several restaurants and bars, museums, places to shop, and beautiful churches.
Explore the cityMost hotels offer a shuttle service (for a fee) for large groups of passengers. Please contact your hotel for more information. There are always taxis available directly in front of the airport. They are 4-door sedans and can fit a total of 4 passengers per vehicle. The drivers know all of the major hotels in the city so just provide them with the name and you'll be on your way. The average cost of a ride is around $500 pesos (~$25 USD).
Most banks in the US offer currency exchange services. Please be aware that you will most likely have to wait 2-3 days for the exchange to be ready so please be sure to submit your request at least 5 days before leaving for Mexico. You may also withdraw cash from an ATM in Morelia using your debit card. There are numerous banks located near the cathedral but the one we regularly use is BBVA Bancomer. Please be aware that there is a foreign withdrawal fee of around $8 USD with BBVA and we expect this to also be the case with the other banks. A third option and our preferred method is with a currency exchange service that does NOT ask for any personal information such as your passport, address, etc. Simply present your cash and they will exchange it for you.
When you fly out of Tijuana Airport via the Cross Border Xpress bridge, you do NOT need to cross the border into Mexico and on your return trip home do NOT exit the airport into Tijuana. You will never set foot in Tijuana, you cross from San Diego into Tijuana through the CBX bridge and vice-versa on your way back home. Remember, this is NOT San Diego International Airport as these are two different locations! There are numerous parking lots leading up to CBX and the price starts at $15 USD per day (you are leaving your car in San Diego, not Tijuana). Please visit the CBX website for more information.
