Driving in Acapulco

Driving in Acapulco could be a new experience for you, and rightly so. It's slightly different from driving in the UK, but always exciting!

Keeping Left is Keeping Right

In Mexico like in most countries, you drive on the right-hand side of the road.

Road Signs and Languages

Road signs are internationally standardized; however, they are primarily in Spanish. Worry not, most of them are easy to understand and there is always Google Translate.

Tips for Smooth Stay

Currency and Exchange

In Mexico, the currency is the Mexican Peso (MXN). Although many places accept USD or credit cards, it's handy to have some local cash, especially in more remote areas.

Climate

Unlike the UK, Acapulco enjoys a tropical climate with a dry season from November to May and a wet season from June to October.

Connections & Accessibility

The airport is well-connected to the city with transport options like taxi and bus service. However, having a car lets you explore at your own leisurely pace.

Gas Stations Near ACA

There are several gas stations within a 5-kilometer radius of the airport. Employing the conversion from litres to gallons can be a bit tricky, so here's a pro tip: 1 liter is roughly equivalent to 0.22 UK gallons.

Driving Routes & Nearby Destinations

After leaving the airport, you can drive straight to Acapulco’s Zona Dorada, the city's primary tourist hub. On your drive, you’ll pass through the breathtaking Palma Sola archaeological site.

What's more interesting about Acapulco, from here you can explore other fascinating cities like Zihuatanejo, Taxco, and Mexico City itself! So, fasten your seatbelts and drive off into the stunning landscape of Mexico.
