2026 Mexican Grand Prix: How to Get to Mexico City by Bus

Date of publication: October 17, 2026

The Formula 1 Mexico City Grand Prix will be held from Friday, October 30 to Sunday, November 1, 2026, at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. That same weekend is Day of the Dead, so the city will be packed: taking the bus avoids the traffic on the highway, parking fees, and the price of last-minute flights.

Short answer

There are buses to CDMX from Puebla (from $89 MXN), Pachuca (from $144 MXN), Querétaro (from $289 MXN), Cuernavaca (from $250 MXN), Guadalajara (from $714 MXN) and Monterrey (from $849 MXN). It arrives on Thursday the 29th or early Friday the 30th and buy your return now: Monday the 2nd of November will be the day of the highest demand.

Routes to CDMX for the Grand Prix weekend

  • Puebla → Mexico City: More than 250 departures per day with ADO, AU and Flix; a journey of about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Many arrive at TAPO, the terminal closest to the racetrack.
  • Querétaro → Mexico City: More than 200 departures per day with Primera Plus, ETN and Flix; from about 2 h 45.
  • Pachuca → CDMX: ADO departures every few minutes; less than an hour away.
  • Cuernavaca → CDMX: 17 departures per day with ETN, starting from $250 MXN.
  • Guadalajara → Mexico City: about 40 departures a day; the night ones leave you in the city early.
  • Monterrey → CDMX: Departures with ETN, Flix and Senda; it is a long journey, so it is advisable to leave at night.

How to get from the terminal to the racetrack

The Hermanos Rodríguez Autodrome is located in the Iztacalco municipality, in the east of the city. The most direct way is by Metro: Line 9 has the Ciudad Deportiva and Velódromo stations next to the autodrome. If you arrive at the TAPO, you are very close; from the North Terminal or Taxqueña, you can take the Metro. Check the official event page to see which gate corresponds to you based on your ticket and the access routes published by the city.

Tips for the weekend

  • Buy the return trip together: The weekend combines F1, Day of the Dead and the return of the bridge.
  • Arrives on time: Traffic around the circuit and the terminals increases from Thursday onwards.
  • Travel light: Check the list of allowed items for the event before leaving; arriving directly from the terminal with a large suitcase complicates access.
