Merida is the capital of the Yucatán state in Mexico, and as such, serves as an important city of the country.
When it comes to its luxury, Merida is full of extremes: you’ll find premium hotels, resorts, and restaurants, yet downtown you’ll find stores and restaurants that suit every budget.
It’s a relatively peaceful city, more or less unscathed by the drug war.
This is possibly the case because of the rumors that the city is a safe zone for the families of the victims of drug cartels, a neutral spot of sorts.
The city also has a rich history with a very charming colonial center and wonderful well-preserved architecture.
Warnings & Dangers in Merida
OVERALL RISK: LOW
Merida is a very safe city: in fact, many say that it's the safest city in Mexico. Just in case, you should apply all possible precaution measures, to minimize the chances of anything going wrong.
TRANSPORT & TAXIS RISK: LOW
Even though public transport is an issue in Mexico, in general, Merida doesn't seem to have that problem. Still, be very careful as this is one of the primary places where pickpockets operate.
PICKPOCKETS RISK: MEDIUM
Pickpocketing and bag snatching is a somewhat common issue in Merida, especially in public and crowded places like bus and train stations and airports. Keep your belongings by your side at all times and try to leave all your valuables in a security deposit box of your hotel.
NATURAL DISASTERS RISK: LOW
Merida isn't prone to suffer from natural disasters like many other cities in Mexico. The biggest risk for tourists lurks at the beaches of the Pacific Ocean as there have been reports of swimmers drowning.
MUGGING RISK: LOW
Muggings and kidnappings are not typical for this area since this is a very peaceful city when it comes to violent crimes. Still, avoid poorly lit and abandoned areas.
TERRORISM RISK: LOW
There haven't been any terrorist attacks in Merida's recent history, but they shouldn't be ruled out. Remain vigilant at all times and aware of your surroundings.
SCAMS RISK: LOW
You should be very vigilant, decline all drinks sent by strangers, double-check all information and negotiate everything in advance. Be wary of people trying to distract you as it may be a scheme to try and steal from you.
WOMEN TRAVELERS RISK: LOW
Many women have traveled safely to Merida, without having any problems, and it's the norm here. Still, avoid parts of cities that are filled with bars and clubs, and visiting them alone, since there is a higher chance of running into intoxicated people.
So... How Safe Is Merida Really?
In general Merida is a safe city, however, certain places are a little bit dangerous.
But this happens in every city in the world.
Many say that Merida is one of the safest cities in the continent, so there are no seriously bad neighborhoods.
Having said all this, you may want to be careful in the south side of the city since there have been rumors about violent gangs living in small private housing areas.
Other than that rumor I have never seen even a fight in the city.
It doesn’t have bad neighborhoods: instead, some of the neighborhoods are inhabited by a more affluent society while others by the working class.
Just don’t get too relaxed – petty crime still exists there; don’t leave cameras, computers, bags, etc. sitting around.
Keep an eye on your things.
While safe and charming, it is the real world, too.
And while the city is safe as can be, tourists are still advised to stay in populated areas, avoid poor neighborhoods, and if they do visit them, not to go out at night.
And though they aren’t too common, you might encounter some beggars.
They are usually not a threat but avoid being surrounded by them because they might try to steal something.
Legally entering Merida (and Mexico, in general) is fairly easy: all nationals receive a traveler's permit upon entering Mexico, and it costs 15 USD, while there are still some countries do need to acquire a visa. If you are not sure about your visa status, contact your local Mexican embassy for further details.
Currency
The Mexican peso is the official currency in Merida. ATMs are widespread throughout the country, and while credit cards are accepted in most top-end hotels, restaurants and stores, Mexico is considered largely a cash economy.
Weather
Merida has a tropical climate and is hot, pretty much, year-round, with moderate to high humidity. The average annual high temperature is 33 °C, and the winters are warm, muggy, and mostly clear.
Airports
Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport, formerly referred to as Mérida-Rejón Airport, is an international airport located in the city of Mérida. It is located on the southern edge of the city.
Travel Insurance
Just like anywhere else, we recommend getting travel insurance when traveling to Merida, since it covers not only the costs of medical problems but also theft and loss of valuables.
“Me? Oh—” Did the man hesitate, Sandy wondered. It seemed to be so before he continued. “I’m Everdail.” “You did just what I wanted,” he said. “Let’s get the airplane in. Then we can talk.” Both chums read the box he thrust under their eyes. Arizona had its full share of murder and sudden death. But New Mexico had more than that. Spring passed on there, with warmth for the snow-wrapped mountains, and blistering heat for the dead plains, and her way was marked with lifeless and mutilated forms. GEORGE III. "Yes," answered Shorty. "And I was out late last night." LOST IN A MAZE OF RAILROAD TRAINS. Shorty shoved the bill into his hand, and rushed down in front of Billings. "Well, I for one am goin' through, and I'm goin' to take Pete and Sandy with me," said Shorty, in a loud, confident tone, to brace up the others. "I've always gone through every one o' them things I've struck yit, and this ain't no worse'n the others. But we ought to jump 'em at once, while they're shiverin' over the shelling' we give 'em. They must be shakin' up there yit like a dog on a January mornin'. Why don't we start, I wonder?" "I ask you if you're afraid of me and I get the beginnings of a self-analysis," Dr. Haenlingen said. She walked three steps to the desk and sat down behind it, her hands clasped on the surface, her eyes staring at the younger woman. "If I'd let you go on I suppose you could have given me a yard and a half of assorted psychiatric jargon, complete with suggestions for a change in your pattern." "Now, wait a minute," Dodd said. Norma had been brain-washed into some silly set of slogans: it was his job to break them down. "The clan can elect leaders—" The second piece of land had thriven better than the first. The hops were sturdy and promising beside the brook, and on the higher grounds the new pastures fattened. Reuben had decided to dig up a couple of his old grass meadows and prepare them for grain-sowing in the autumn. The soil was good, and it was only his father's want of enterprise which had kept so much of Odiam as mere grazing land. As for the cows, there was ample provision for them on the new pastures, which Boarzell would continue to yield, even if it refused oats—"But I'll have oats there some day, I reckon," said Reuben, "oats, and barley, and maybe wheat." Richard flushed with pleasure. After all he was not acquitting himself so badly with this fine lady. They talked together for a few more minutes, the boy trying to clip his speech like hers. He noticed how much shorter and crisper it was than his—while he said "d?an't," she could say "don't" twice. Something almost like a sob shook Reuben. Then, ashamed of his weakness, he raised his head, and saw that behind Boarzell the night had lifted, and a cowslip paleness was creeping into the sky. The great dark hump of the Moor showed clearly against it with its tuft of firs. A faint thrill stole through Reuben's tired limbs. Boarzell was always there to be loved and fought for, even if he had no heart or arm but his own. Gradually hope stirred as the dawn crept among the clouds. The wind came rustling and whiffling to him over the heather, bringing him the rich damp smell of the earth he loved. Reuben shook his head. HoME完整一级A免费看片
