Getting there:
There are many roads leading to Mexico City. If you are just driving through it without stopping you are better to drive the Arco Norte (a tolled ring road) and avoid the congestion altogether.

The best strategy for entering or exiting the city is to drive on Sunday mornings when traffic is lightest.
