6 Safest Cities in Mexico for Digital Nomads

Mexico is a popular travel destination for so many reasons. The culture is vibrant, the geography is beautifully diverse, and the cost of living is relatively affordable compared to most Western countries. It’s also a massive country with many cities and regions to explore – but which one is safest for digital nomads?

These are the six safest cities for digital nomads; based on my experience of spending time in Mexico for months at a time, talking with fellow online workers, and multiple crime and safety reviews.

1. Sayulita

Located on Mexico’s Pacific coast, Sayulita is a charming beach town with a relaxed, laidback vibe. Expect a slower pace of life with a vibrant arts culture.

The number one draw to Sayulita is the white sand beaches and pristine turquoise waters. Who doesn’t want to start their day with a morning dip in the ocean before opening up the laptop?

You’ll find a community of artists, musicians, surfers, and travelers, making it an ideal place for meeting other digital nomads and networking with people from around the world. The city is lined with colorful buildings, unique art galleries, and lots of delicious food.

Popular amongst digital nomads, the city’s crime rate is low, there are plenty of cafes and workspaces with fast WiFi, and the cost of living is lower than in bigger cities in Mexico, like neighboring Puerto Vallarta.

2. Merida

Merida is one of the most underrated cities in Mexico, in my opinion. I posted up here for a few months and was completely blown away by its beauty and charm. It’s the capital city of the Yucatan and a quick 30-minute drive to the beach.

Make no mistake, this is a bustling city with fresh markets, gorgeous architecture, and tons of history, so it’s not quite as “chill” as other Mexican coastal towns. However, it offers infrastructure, amazing museums, and incredible food. Plus, it’s very safe. In fact, Merida was named the 2nd safest city in all of North America.

It’s a prime location for digital nomads thanks to the fast WiFi that can be found throughout the city, and accommodations are very affordable. During your days off work, you can explore the stunning cenotes and beaches within a short drive.

3. Mexico City

Known as one of the biggest cultural epicenters in the world, Mexico City has so much to offer. If you’re a digital nomad who likes to jet set a lot, you might find…
