Getting Around with a Hired Car

Driving in Villahermosa

Unlike the UK, Mexico drives on the right-hand side of the road. Most road signs are in Spanish, so familiarising yourself with common phrases could be beneficial. The speed limit in urban areas is typically 30-40 km/h, and 80-110 km/h on highways.

Parking

Parking in Villahermosa can be challenging, especially in the city center. It's a good idea to select a rental car with a parking service or a hotel with free parking.

Exploring the City and Beyond

Attractions

• La Venta Museum-Park: Home to some of the most important Olmec statues and artifacts.
• Yumka: A gigantic animal kingdom divided into jungle, savannah and lake ecosystems.
• The Cathedral of the Lord of Tabasco: This contemporary architecture is a must-visit.

Neighbourhoods

Breathe in the local life by visiting neighbourhoods like 'Gaviotas Sur' known for its bustling food scene, or 'Oropeza', rich in historical landmarks.

Surrounding Cities

Solo drives to nearby spots can be just as rewarding. For a quieter town experience, Comalcalco is just an hour drive away.

Climate and When to Visit

Villahermosa features a tropical monsoon climate with consistent temperature around the year. However, December to February is typically the most comfortable with less rainfall. Always check the local weather forecast as sudden rain showers are not uncommon.

Finally... Money Matters

The national currency is the Mexican Peso (MXN). While credit cards are widely accepted, we recommend you have some Pesos on hand for smaller establishments.
