Weather

The City is located on México's high central plateau and because of the high altitude (over 7000 feet) the city enjoys a relatively mild climate all year.  May is the warmest months of the year. During this month the highest temperature is 26ºC (76ºF) and the lowest temperature is 11ºC (52ºF). Afternoon rains come at the end of May so it is highly recommended to brig a coat, a hat and a pair of comfortable shoes.

Travel

Entry Requirements and procedures:

If you are a citizen of Germany, Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Chile, South Korea, Costa Rica, Denmark, Slovene, Spain, United States, Finland, France, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Island, Israel, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Munich, Norway, New Zeeland, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, San Marino, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Swiss, Uruguay and Venezuela, you do not need a Visa. Instead of a Visa, people who live in these countries do need a valid passport and a tourist card. Tourist cards can be obtained at a Mexican consulate (see http://www.mexonline.com for a list of Mexican consulates in the US and Canada) or from your airline. If you are not a citizen of the aforementioned countries you should visit the Mexican Consulate in your country to get a Visa.

Tourists must complete an entry form, available from travel agents and airlines, or at the port of entry. You will be given a Forma Migratorio Turista (FM-T), tourist card. The FM-T is for all practical purposes a visa; the traveler must carry a copy at all times, and must surrender it on departure. An immigration official will stamp the visa and will enter the number of days you will be allowed to remain in Mexico, typically a six months stay is allowed. The authorities can demand this card at any time. Tourists are limited to activities defined by the FM-T category, which include sports, health, artistic and cultural activities. Extensions of up to 90 days beyond the 180-day limit are possible if a physician certifies that you are not fit to travel. Visitors can be expelled from the country if they violate their tourist status or stay longer than 180 days, and can be fined if they lose their FM-T.

Transportation

Transportation from airport to your hotel

In base to your flight schedules the staff of the local committee will be waiting for you, to leave you at your hotel. In case of delays or not to find us please catch a taxi cab. It is highly recommended to only catch the taxi from the Airport service.

Transportation during the event

There will be some available buses offered by the local comitte for taking the participants from the hotels to the conference place.

Safety

As in any other big city robberies and muggings are not uncommon, so when you visit Mexico you should take some precautions: avoid wearing jewelry, carry only the cash or credit card you will need and leave your important documents in your hotel safe.

If you need a taxi, phone for it from your hotel or ask to the hotel staff to do it on your behalf. Beware of taxis in Mexico City, particularly if you do not speak Spanish.
