With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Teotihuacan, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Pyramid of the Sun, Pyramid of the Moon and Palacio de Quetzalpapálotl. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Pachuca, 35 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s El Rehilete Museum. (But we’re also huge fans of Monumental Clock of Pachuca and Hidalgo Stadium.)
