Cancun is the most visited city in México, we have dozens of the most beautiful white sand and clear water beaches in the world, it’s a very touristy place which makes it a super safe place to go around, so don’t worry! You can visit every point of attraction feeling safe, don’t let news scare you. Just leave those ledger nanos at home! jkjk, It’s a super friendly city and mostly everyone speaks english.

There is Uber available from the Airport but taxis will fight them so they can take you, but around the city you can easily order Uber for cheaper price.

There are tons of Hotels you can pick from or just grab an airbnb, just try to stay on the black line in the map, I wouldn’t suggest to stay at downtown cancun, it’s kind of far and there is really nothing interesting to see.

Cancun Convention Center is located at the most touristic spot in whole Cancun, across the street you have most of the hotels, bars, clubs, restaurants, etc. It’s a super safe zone and police is all around.

Currency

We use Mexican Pesos, the exchange rate is around 1 USD=19 pesos 1 Euro=22.5 pesos

You can use your credit card almost everywhere, but get some pesos in case you need them, airport and hotels provide exchange services but the rates are pretty bad, so the best thing to do is use a debit card on an ATM.

Tourism

There is seriously a lot of stuff to do, so take a few extra days after devcon or you will regret!

Adventure:

I suggest you take a full day for every attraction and book ahead on their website. Or book itwith an Tour Agency.

Nightlife

I guarantee you will have an amazing time if you hang out, Cancun parties every single night, and nightclubs get super crowded with thousands of people. Most of clubs have 1 special night, so ask around to see which is the hottest on.

Usually people will come close to you on the street to sell tickets, so I suggest you ask for the price at the place you want to go before buying it from them. (usually they have good deals but don’t let them fool you. (super safe place to hang out)
