With Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez located close to the central areas of Mexico City, it’s easy to get from your hotel to the circuit on race weekend. Using the Metro is cheapest and fastest, but you may also take a taxi or ride share.

Flights to Mexico City

Mexico City’s main airport, Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX), is conveniently located just 10km east of the Centro Historico, and some 5 kilometres north of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. You will find plenty of frequent flights into MEX from most of the world’s major cities, and many international airlines fly into Benito Juarez daily, including Aeromexico, Air Canada, Air France, American Airlines, Avianca, British Airways, Copa, Cubana de Aviacion, Delta, Iberia, JetBlue, KLM, LAN, Lufthansa, TACA, United Airlines, and Southwest.

Flights from USA: Plenty of direct flights head to MEX from the USA. Approximate flight times without stopover: New York (5 hours), LA (4 hours) and Dallas (3 hours). Popular airlines/routes include Volaris (New York & LA), Interject (Dallas) and American Airlines (Miami)

Flights from Europe: Aeromexico operates direct flights from London, Paris and Madrid (flight time 10-12 hours). Other airlines flying direct from Europe to Mexico City include British Airways, Air France and Lufthansa. Cheaper flights may involve a stopover in the USA

Other Flights: No direct flights from Australia (flight time 20-24 hours with 2 stops). Cheapest deals with American, Qantas & Virgin 

Domestic Flights: Fly to holiday destinations in Mexico like Cancun, Acapulco, Mazatlan, Tijuana & Puerto Vallerta with Aeromexico, Interjet, Volaris & Viva Aerobus

Mexico City: Airport to City

The quickest and cheapest way to get from the airport to downtown is to use the Metro. Terminal 1 is located next to the Terminal Aérea station on line 5, and Terminal 2 is a 700 meter walk from Pantitlán station on lines 1, 5, 9 and A. Pantitlán also has a bus & minibus station, and taxi rank. Metro tickets cost around 5 pesos per journey but get yourself a Tarjeta Distrito Federal for 10 pesos which you can load up with credit and use on the metro, light rail and metrobus services.

You can also jump in a taxi from outside the airport. Licensed airport taxis are white and yellow with black aeroplane logos on their doors, and you purchase a ticket to ride in advance from one of the counters inside the airport. Prices range from 100-300 pesos depending on where in the city you are headed for and what size vehicle you choose. Avoid wandering out of the airport concourse in search of cheaper taxis; this is not the safest area of Mexico City.

How to Get to Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez

The easiest way to get to the track is to take the Metro. The Autodromo is close to the Velódromo, Cuidad Deportiva and Puebla stations on the east end of the brown Number 9 line (in the direction of Pantitlán), which is not that far from the center of the city. Here are the recommended metro stops depending on your seating location (zone):

Velódromo: Grada 14 Foro Sol Sur (Grey Zone) & Grada 15 Foro Sol Norte (Brown Zone)

Cuidad Deportiva: Main Grandstand (Green Zone)

Puebla: Grada 3,4,5,6 (Blue Zone) and Grada 9-11 (Yellow Zone)

Please note that the Zaragoza stop on the pink Line 1 is also nearby, and there’s also local buses. When leaving the circuit at peak times, we recommend taking the metro one stop in the opposite direction and then doubling back to beat the crowds. Make sure you also have a return ticket at the start of the day to avoid ticket machine queues.

Taxis and Uber are also plentiful on race weekend, but remember that you can easily be delayed by traffic jams. Taxi stands are located next to Gate 15 at the circuit and also on Avena Street.

As well as the Metro, Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is also served by Trolley Bus Line 2 (Ciudad Deportiva, Puerta 8 and Puebla stations), Metrobus Line 2 (Iztacalco and UPIICSA arrivals) and Bus routes 1, 9, 11, 27, 78 (M1 Bicentenario and Sausa Corridor.)

Getting Around in Mexico City

Mexico City is well served by an extensive metro network, as well as red and white metrobuses, taxis, peseros (minibuses), light rail and trolley buses (electric buses). The metro can get incredibly packed during rush hour when the roads jam up, but trains are frequent and travel is very cheap. The metro runs from 5am – midnight on weekdays and starts slightly later in the morning at the weekends.

We don’t advise driving yourself in Mexico City (especially not to the track – there’s very limited parking.) The streets are chaotic and many of the city’s 3.5 million drivers are reckless. Traffic jams are the norm and it is virtually impossible to travel anywhere quickly by car within the city. As stated above, Uber now operates in Mexico City.
