Parking in Mexico City

Parking in Mexico City can be tricky, just like trying to fit a square peg in a circle hole. When people want to park their car, they have to find an open spot on the street or in a parking lot. But sometimes, there are more cars than there are spots, so people have to be patient and look for a spot that's available.

If you do find a spot on the street, make sure you look for any signs that might say "no parking" or "tow-away zone." If you park in one of those spots, your car might get towed away and you'll have to pay a lot of money to get it back.

There are also times when you might have to pay to park on the street or in a parking lot. In some places, you have to buy a special sticker called a "tarjeta de estacionamiento" or a "parking card" to put on your car, which shows that you paid to park in that spot.

It's important to remember that parking rules in Mexico City can vary from place to place, so make sure you read all the signs and pay attention to any instructions from the people who work in the parking lots. And just like learning how to tie your shoes, it might take some practice to get the hang of it, but with patience and persistence, you'll be able to park your car like a pro!
