Why this route works
Altitude, traffic and an unfamiliar block make the first day a poor time for a complex route. Settle connectivity, groceries and a reliable return plan close to the accommodation; add a backup workspace only if needed.

90 min · WorkStay neighborhood-first; use Metrobús for long corridors
Walk within Roma, Condesa or another chosen district, then use Metrobús or Metro for longer legs. Avoid stitching together distant stops simply because they look close on a zoomed-out map, and leave a traffic buffer for any car-based segment. Metrobús costs MXN 6 per trip, with eligible same-direction transfers included within two hours.
