Hey all, so I have been reading a lot of the posts and I am trying to get a feel for how Tijuana is now comparto pre COVID? I have been to Zona Norte on several occasions, but. It since COVID, now all I hear is how dangerous it is. Is it really any more dangerous than it was before COVID or is the basically the same? I am planning on heading down in the next 24-48 hours, but I figured I would ask and see what people said.
Thanks
I Guess I should add that when I went in the past I never felt nervous or scared. There were enough police patrolling that I always felt safe. Granted I only went to monger, I don’t drink or do drugs so I keep my nose pretty clean.
I've have no problem. I'm there right now.
BBW, as long as you keep to yourself like you said, you shouldn't have any problems. Just be alert like you would in any big city in the US.
The only new danger is to your wallet; prices have gone up substantially. Still a bargain compared to the USA, but don’t rely on past experiences.
I hope to be down there starting Monday night for a few days. There are other Mexican cities that are having issues, but TJ is reasonably safe.
Compared to Pre-Covid, it is basically the same, one thing different is that there is more security after. Girl from Adelitas was murderer by an American.
Also Adelitas is closed, because the owner and managers are charged with tax evasion and trafficking in women for prostitution.
If you go to any country in the world and you are not looking for problems chances are you won’t find problems.
Tijuana is as dangerous as any other “tourist” city in the world, no more no less than Pre-Covid.
With the right mindset and realistic expectations, most heterosexual men will have a good time at Hong Kong because it is, according to Krusty, the Happiest Place on Earth.
If you behave like a Gentlemen you will be treated like a gentleman, if you behave like a ugly American Tourist you will be treated accordingly.
Just use common sense don’t be flashing cash don’t travel outside the safe Zona Norte, don’t drink or do drugs.
Just be careful out there, like if you were visiting the South, South Central Los Angeles, Compton California, Detroit etc etc
Most people in Tijuana are regular people like you and everyone else in the world, nice, welcoming and helpful.
And traveling to Tijuana is still very affordable for most Americans.
Thanks everyone.

Pics and Vids of it isn’t so.
:D
Good Times, Good Times.
I've been there several times since in the past year. Did not visit pre-covid. Rarely hear of any one being robbed or exploited. Even those that do have a bad time tend to act stupid, get drunk and pick fights.
Stick to the safer well known areas, use Uber instead of the local taxis, and you'll be good.
The only difference I have noticed post covid is there seems to be a little more National Guard pickups running around the zona, and the security is much tighter at Hong Kong and Cascada's, but as mentioned above this is mostly to protect the girls.
