Planning Tips
- Fly into Monterrey — the best air connections are there; direct buses from the airport to Saltillo cost about M$480, or transfer via the Monterrey bus station for less.
- Use rideshare apps — Didi, Uber, and inDriver all serve Saltillo, complementing the local bus and taxi options for getting around.
- Know your bus drop-off — intercity buses may not stop in the city center; ask if the bus makes a stop at the northern part of the city, closer to most hotels.
- Carry cash with low ATM fees — use ATMs like BanCoppel inside Soriana or Banco Azteca in Electra stores to minimize withdrawal charges, with some as low as M$12.
- Travel in pairs when possible — as a general safety guideline, avoid being out alone at night and stick to well-trafficked areas during the day.
