I agree I just returned from San Diego to the TJ airport. No problem, took the Trolley, walked across, took a cab to the airport, I have done this several times, I am retired 65+.
Tijuana is a pretty safe city to visit if you’re there during the daytime, but once it gets dark, the city gets very sketchy. If you’re visiting there as a tourist and not looking for any trouble, you will be fine. Always be careful from the police, and make sure you’re not breaking any laws, like going outside with an open bottle of beer in your hand, they will look for an excuse to harass you for some money.
Its sketchy during the day too. Ive been followed and you can see guys on cell phones talking to each other about people on the street. Very sketchy things going on. Men just stare and watch you.
Day or night makes no difference, I have walked to a convenience store 2 am and nothing happens, I would not do that in many part of the U.S., even the Mexican president said Mexico is safer then many places in the U.S., I concur and so do many other American who live in Mexico, its U.S. hype
we are a family who moved to Tijuana more than 10 years ago and I am so happy to see a positive video of Tijuana, we have never felt unsafe in fact we feel more unsafe when we are walking around in the states! Tijuana is a very culturally rich place and quite friendly and yes there are a lot of dogs! lol
@@bobbyoluwafemi7298 What side did you stay in? I own a house there and I used to rent an apt. Downtown near Revolution Ave. used to walk at all times around there nothing ever happened
I was almost murdered by a prostitute in Tijuana. I ran out of money and she got angry and chased me with a clothes iron whie I was still in her bed. After a fight, and being assaulted, and still naked, I was lucky enough to be able to gather some clothes, open the locked door and get out of her apartment and or not get arrested. My life was in danger and that was close.
I currently live in tj 6 years now and im happy to say i have never felt unsafe or seen anything or bodies. As long as you mind your business and not get yourself into trouble you will be good
Thank you for visiting our city. I'll take your video's title as sarcasm because to outsiders Tijuana really is a welcoming place and relatively safe if you stay in your lane.
105 murders for every 100k people making it second most dangerous in the world currently. But people should know the murders aren't random. It's cartels killing each other
I believe you visited one of the poorest residential areas in Tijuana. Many rich mexicans are living in Tijuana in areas like: Cumbres de Juarez, Chapultepec, Cacho, Tercera zona del Río, Altabrisa, etc. And there are premium malls like Península, Galerías, Paseo Chapultepec or even Plaza Río. Zona Río is also not bad. Not sure why many tourists don't visit the better areas of the city.
@@Peopleofthesun386 Tan cerca to Galerias Hipodromo! Cinepolis VIP - nothing like a michelada or cappuccino while watching a movie with a big crowd. I went there mostly for movies, Starbucks, burgers at Baja Artesanal and Walmart.

@@mhaas281 You can go to Unidad Deportiva. Big place with running track pool, basketball and tennis courts. You can get there in 15 min by car from Grand Hotel. There are several smaller parks around the Hotel but you will definitely get pulled over by the cops
As with all border towns, Tijuana has had the misfortune of being stuck between the highest consumer of drugs to the North (the U.S.A) and the highest producer of drugs to the South (Colombia).
I remember my Navy days going there when I was stationed here in San Diego, I now call San Diego my home. Just don't get too drunk and you will be fine , and never carry a firearm into Mexico , even if it is registered in the USA, they will arrest you and you spend time in the Tijuana jail.
We can get from San Diego to Tj by boat ? I’m just a little confused on how to get to Tijuana from San Diego airport. Google maps doesn’t really detail it
I went to Tijuana in early June 2023 on my way to Ensenada and I explored Zona Centro too. There are many secured parking garages, and while I was walking around I noticed that the locals were at ease. People were sitting on benches using their smartphones, young people were walking with headphones in; it seemed as though people were not scared. The violence is very real, but the media definitely create an image of Tijuana that likens it to somewhere like Mogadishu.
Thanks for going inside the Cultural Center. I passed that hundreds of times and always admired the tall cacti and nice plants outside. It was repainted to the golden color in 2019.
Great video looks 100 times nicer than it did back in the late 80s. It looks like a lot of areas in Southern California not much of a difference except the cost of real estate.
I’ve lived in TJ for a total of 4 months. It has its pros and cons. There’s also a hidden gem (red light district😏😍). I lived in a decent apartment on the east side and met cool neighbors. You also get a nice view of the city too. I would like to go back some day.😢
CBX is also a very convenient option when crossing from the USA to Tijuana Airport, but you have to pay a fee to use the service, it's about 45 USD for R/T ticket, as a side note, I love Aero Mexico 🇲🇽 my favorite Mexican Airline. As a matter of fact, I will be there next week for my trip to Puerto Vallarta , gotta love Mexico and the beautiful 😍 beaches and people, and can't forget the awesome Margaritas, and the Senoritas, Mamacita , muy bien🎉❤😊
True. You can fly within Mexico from Tijuana Airport for much cheaper than flying from LA or San Diego. Worth crossing the border and taking the flight from Tijuana
If I ever found litter, I would pick it up, but that really was rare in the populous parts. On the side of ruta uno or by tributaries of the Rio TJ that is another story. Trash pickup is only like 200-300 MXN every two weeks. Maybe less. I forgot.
in TJ trouble will find you without looking for it ... i remember crossing into Tijuana and within 5 min a beggar was telling my friends and I to go f@#$ ourselves for not giving him anything 😂. but i also experienced a more violent drug addict in San Diego bus stop that did the same
Tijuana has some homeless, My church I go to in Tijuana the locals have told me police will force them into rehab, jail and or Mental health facilities. On Sundays several churches in San Diego will feed the homeless in Tijuana.
I had to stop where you said they don't check your passport. TAKE YOUR PASSPORT because believe me, you can very easily find yourself technically in Mexico (by a few feet) with no passport, and if you do, you will have a VERY HARD TIME getting back into the US. Ah, on second thought just don't go LOL. EDIT: see that turnstile thing? Once you go through that (and there is no one there to stop you and no signs) you are IN MEXICO whether you have a passport or not. And without a passport, you can't just turn around and go back out. DON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE! You're welcome.
Ah yes, 100% take your passport. Do not enter Mexico without US passport. If you forget then have someone walk to Mexico and have them bring your passport along with theirs. 😀. On my way back, the custom agent did not check my passport. Only saw the global entry card, took my photo and told me to go away.
@@chicagomikeyes you can cross with your birth certificate and DL. Also even without a passport and just your DL you will be able to come back to the U.S. They might question you a bit, but overall you will be fine. I go regularly (with passport) and my sister (without) never once had an issue or was fined coming back.
Interesting. Maybe sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. It would have been nice to collect a stamp on the passport but they did not check anything for any of us in line.
Only a Mexican citizen can own property within 100 km of the border or 50 km of the ocean in what is called the restricted zone. To have access to property within the restricted zone ownership can be held in a 50 year trust by a bank or by incorporating in Mexico.
Oh interesting. I did not know that. Saw many many cars parked outside these home with California plate so I assumed many people from California either have family here or they just bought these homes.
@@weekendwanderin6953 Since California cars retain their originally registered tags they end up in Tijuana. Police stop them all the time for quick revenue. People cheat by getting plates through Anapromex. These cars will be towed if they travel too far and onto federal lands in a hurry. Then you will need $300-600 to get it back.
I am so sorry there is nothing about TJ I am Mexican and I have zero desire to hang there. I would just be looking behind my back all the time doesn’t sound like a vacation. I don’t mean this in a hateful way I really enjoy watching from a distance
I live here and never have to be looking behind my back. I don't really understand the basis of your comment but I invite you to visit and maybe that will change your misconception.
No reason to be. You probably watch FOX New Channel a little too much. San Diego is a nice town. There's also a couple Navy bases and a huge Marine Corps base there. We live in a fortress, the most powerful nation in the history of the world. Just on the other side of the border though, drug cartels rule. When I was in the Navy, people would go down to TJ all the time, but they're going to tourist areas, you know.
I have cousins who stay in Chula Vista, California who love to go to Tijuana, Baja California to shop for bargains where the cost of living in much less.😊
Vivo en Tijuana desde hace más de 30 años y paradójicamente en el único lugar que me han asaltado fue en San Diego a una cuadra del Horton Plaza... por otro lado pareces más mexicano que yo...
Holy shit..I just subbed on the fact that you somehow ended up in my old neighborhood in tj called Loma Bonita. Had a 2 bedroom small house 🏠 1 bathroom and had a gate and parking for 2 cars for $250 a month 5 years back.
@@bongdonkey Cost of living in Tijuana must be very good because I live here and I've seen many foreigners from different countries (most of them from the U.S.A.) and they look happy to live here, one african-american man even told me, quote: "If I lived in San Diego I'd be homeless living on the streets with the rent you pay there", he was living in a modest looking place here in Tj but seemed happy to me.
UUUUUU....Plaza Loma Bonita! I was there so many times for pizza, movies, and when crap hit the fan First Cash. The candy shop there has excellent selection. Hondas used to gather in the parking lot near the main road on Tuesdays. Not sure what the scene is like now, three full years later.
I've always had good experiences every time I came down from San Diego. One time I went into the Jai Lai place and watched a game. You can bet on the players while eating Mexican food. It was fun.
I have lived all my life in TJ (64 yrs), never had any problem, just use your common sense. Don't bring fire arms, nor knifes, Don't drink in the streets, Don't disrespect the Police, and Don't bring, buy or consume any drug, all are illegal in México. Keep away of the poor colonias and the Red district. Visit the nace restaurants and malls, Tijuana is more than the Zona Norte ór the Revolución Av. Welcome to Tijuana
The ROADS are better than SanDiego streets WTF? I used to spend a ton of time there in TJ in late 70s early 80s and the pot holes were rediculous Now they look awesome and WE HAVE ALL THE POTHOLES
It's only dangerous if you go looking for illegal or bad activities. If you only go there to work or sight see you have nothing to worry about. If you want to show people why it's so dangerous there go ahead and hit up the night life ask for girls with drugs and watch what happens.
The tijuana red light district (not explored in this video) is where hundreds of people go to have fun. It's considered the most dangerous area on earth, due to the highest numbers of rapes, kidnappings and murders that happen there every year.
@@theyclosechannelsthatspeak428 it was three sex workers killed by an American citizen. They caught the guy in the u.s. there's more detailed info on TH-cam.
@@nelsonluke6007 I believe you, unfortunately I'm old and POOR, so ALL of the adventurous Thoughts have Long left me. But I totally agree with you. If you are Ever able to travel and get to know the world, not only the places, but especially THE PEOPLE DO IT!!That part I really grieve about. Much love from the Appalachian Mountains in South Central Pennsylvania Somerset Pa USA ❤️😍
TJ has really established itself in the health tourism market. There are dentists and laser eye clinics on every corner, and a few plastic surgeons as well. That boosts the whole local economy, with patients requiring hotel rooms, meals and transport. I go to a dentist there and have never felt unsafe, its far worse here in Chicago!
Been there on and off this year and the older men and men in their 40s have creepy vibes. Like they just want to devour people. The younger educated generation is awesome. I hope they are able to prevail.
Ever notice in videos like this you see a ton of dogs but never see any cats? I was in the Navy out there in 1985-89 and you never saw any cats down there then.
How is this more dangerous then Baltimore or Philadelphia I wouldn’t dare walk down either of those cities downtowns I’d rather walk in Tijuana downtown.
That's a lot of money go further down and for that kind of money like Chapala next to one of the biggest lakes it might be the biggest lake in Mexico but for that price you can buy a nice mansion
Us Media as always will scare their us citizens viewers to dont go to TJ ..they exagerate things!!! Tijuana is safe for those who are not trying to commite a crime....i have been living in the border and staying in tj for more than 20 years and i love it
@@weekendwanderin6953 estimado joven, pienso hacer un viaje a Tijuana en estos días, asumiendo que soy un amigo suyo, me recomienda que lo haga ya, o que me espere. Gracias!
I knew a man who was stationed in Mexico during the service. He said that he had no desire to go there again because it is too hot and humid there with southern Mexico being in the tropics and northern Mexico being subtropical. That is why all businesses close and they take siestas there.😮
Very strange American express is not accepted in TJ. Cuz it's accepted everywhere else in Mexico. I used my American express card in Michoacán, Guadalajara, México city without a problem. All the shops, restaurants, bars accepted American express. Discover card on the other hand was a whole different story it wasn't accepted anywhere in Mexico it didn't work at all.
its all fun and games until something bad hapens. get your home broken into, get your copper plumbing or electrical wiring stolen, traffic sux, sidewalks sux, sewer smells, Bad internet, worse cellphone internet, borderwait to cross north or south especially on fridays. anecdotal evidence but many cross border commuters would rather live in the US side. they mostly live south because of limited funds to live comfortably in the US.
I been in tijuana about 32times since 1963 is whend i came to usa calif and on those 32 times i visit with my compadre nothing happen to us visit ADELITA bar and casino in revolution saludes ala dueña del restaruant PLATO DE ORO,get a hair cut i dont go any more couse d driving my compadre die so i want to go and buy some bolsas para el mercado as a matter of fact i use to buy a brandy,tequila i still have about 10 ,nothing happen to us and my compadre use to go to d coahuila and come to the casino late
If Tijuana is so great why do we have so many illegals pouring into the U.S. illegals from different countries go through Tijuana they should stay there and experience all that Tijuana has to offer sounds like heaven.
@@mhaas281 course not, from around the world I believe,most people already know that no matter where they are from we don't know who they are our government is not keeping track or vetting them that is a concern .
The most dangerous? Not even close. Not even the most dangerous city in Mexico.
What is?

Don't bring fire arms, nor knifes, Don't drink in the streets, Don't disrespect the Police, and Don't bring, buy or consume any drug, all are illegal in México. Keep away of the poor colonias and the Red district. Visit the nace restaurants and malls, Tijuana is more than the Zona Norte ór the Revolución Av. Welcome to Tijuana
Is there a nice mall that you recommend?
Where is the danger, was your life threatened by being there?
Not even for a moment. Tacos on the street are super good. Friendly people
I spent a day in TJ during the day recently and had a great, safe time.
The ROADS are better than SanDiego streets WTF? I used to spend a ton of time there in TJ in late 70s early 80s and the pot holes were rediculous Now they look awesome and WE HAVE ALL THE POTHOLES
You can’t buy a home unless you are a Mexican citizen in Mexico. Those with CA plates probably have dual citizenship
Looks cleaner then Los Angeles
Every San Diegan would've told you to take a visit to good ol' Hong Kong 😉
8th year in TJ. Im still alive.
I'm boricua and white and I'm still alive 🤣
@@nelsonluke6007 aquí andamos y no pasa nada si sabes donde te metes.
My first time watching any of your videos but to support I'm a subscribe
It's only dangerous if you go looking for illegal or bad activities. If you only go there to work or sight see you have nothing to worry about. If you want to show people why it's so dangerous there go ahead and hit up the night life ask for girls with drugs and watch what happens.
The tijuana red light district (not explored in this video) is where hundreds of people go to have fun. It's considered the most dangerous area on earth, due to the highest numbers of rapes, kidnappings and murders that happen there every year.
Two sex workers recently killed there.
@@theyclosechannelsthatspeak428 it was three sex workers killed by an American citizen. They caught the guy in the u.s. there's more detailed info on TH-cam.
@@theyclosechannelsthatspeak428please link the story. Ughhh so disheartening
How many bodies will the new Tacoma come with? I assume Toyota researched the City before moving it’s plant there from San Antonio.
Yeah, it would be like judging all of America by the worst parts of Chicago or Philadelphia.
Looks pretty nice. But I have never been outside the US and I don't plan to.
Never limit yourself..it's a big and amazing world out there!
@@nelsonluke6007 I believe you, unfortunately I'm old and POOR, so ALL of the adventurous Thoughts have Long left me. But I totally agree with you. If you are Ever able to travel and get to know the world, not only the places, but especially THE PEOPLE DO IT!!That part I really grieve about. Much love from the Appalachian Mountains in South Central Pennsylvania Somerset Pa USA ❤️😍
Nice video! Come on down to San Salvador, El Salvador. See what you can make of our little country.
Oh, come on. Where are you getting that wrong information from? I think is a LOT MORE DANGEROUS to attend a school in the US.
My husband and I go to TJ many times and have never had a problem.
Got the SENTRI card so no problem coming back
I found out when I went there. If you take a taxi to the border, on your way back, to take a taxi. They will take you to the front of the line.
You need to use a proper microphone Dude !
Next time!
TJ has really established itself in the health tourism market. There are dentists and laser eye clinics on every corner, and a few plastic surgeons as well.
That boosts the whole local economy, with patients requiring hotel rooms, meals and transport. I go to a dentist there and have never felt unsafe, its far worse here in Chicago!
I’m trying to go here for some surgery
The most dangerous city in the world? Have you been to Chicago?....
Good video! Thank you for the tour. It was a bit hard to hear you in some of the video.
Been there on and off this year and the older men and men in their 40s have creepy vibes. Like they just want to devour people. The younger educated generation is awesome. I hope they are able to prevail.
Good material but difficult to follow because of poor sound quality
Love it!
Thanks bro!
Ever notice in videos like this you see a ton of dogs but never see any cats? I was in the Navy out there in 1985-89 and you never saw any cats down there then.
How is this more dangerous then Baltimore or Philadelphia I wouldn’t dare walk down either of those cities downtowns I’d rather walk in Tijuana downtown.
TJ: "I am the most dangerous."
Rio: "Seguro meo drink, Cara."😅🤣
Is the border crossing open 24/7
Yes
30 years ago I just drove through did not see or meet anyone at the border.
What’s crazy is California used to be Mexico back in the days.
This is Baja California, so technically Tijuana, Ensenada is part of the state
Spain owned California before Mexico.
You can KEEP Tijuana!. I don't want to live with Tall iron fences and armed guards.
That's a lot of money go further down and for that kind of money like Chapala next to one of the biggest lakes it might be the biggest lake in Mexico but for that price you can buy a nice mansion
Us Media as always will scare their us citizens viewers to dont go to TJ ..they exagerate things!!! Tijuana is safe for those who are not trying to commite a crime....i have been living in the border and staying in tj for more than 20 years and i love it
Thanks for the tour, but I can hardly understand what you're saying, since there's a lot of noise, but I'm going to try 4:54 4:54
I just did all this on my phone. I don’t have a mic. Next time :)
@@weekendwanderin6953 estimado joven, pienso hacer un viaje a Tijuana en estos días, asumiendo que soy un amigo suyo, me recomienda que lo haga ya, o que me espere. Gracias!
Donaldo esta en la Playa con senoritas , beiber cerveza y ♥️ escuchan discos
Muy bien Senors , lol.😅🎉😊❤😊
I knew a man who was stationed in Mexico during the service. He said that he had no desire to go there again because it is too hot and humid there with southern Mexico being in the tropics and northern Mexico being subtropical. That is why all businesses close and they take siestas there.😮
No one takes siestas; that is stupid to say
@@Angel0_1994 My apologies to Mexico.
Why no homeless laying around like in the u.s
Dangerous… in your dreams .. love tijuana
Cartel country, too dangerous to visit now for non lationos. Used to go there in the past.
The cartel are not after tourist. Use your brain. How many non Latinos have been killed there in recent years?
As a San Diegan for over 50 years, I think everyone should move to Tijuana. It’s better. Seriously. Go.
Se mira muy limpio Tijuana parece ser que tú solo fuiste a criticar, ve a caminar a los Angeles, y está lleno de limosneros y muy sucio. Grava eso
I don’t disagree with you. I drove around Los Angeles to go back home. It only looks good in pictures.
Do you know of any good hotels for cheap ?? Thanks
I did not stay there. I came back the same day. I am sure booking.com has some good options
@@weekendwanderin6953 thanks but does Tijuana en
San Francisco. You went there, so you know already!
How come you didn't go to the Hong Kong? They have the best sushi.
Lol I had food at Tijuana too. Just did not record it after breakfast
Very strange American express is not accepted in TJ. Cuz it's accepted everywhere else in Mexico. I used my American express card in Michoacán, Guadalajara, México city without a problem. All the shops, restaurants, bars accepted American express. Discover card on the other hand was a whole different story it wasn't accepted anywhere in Mexico it didn't work at all.
Maybe some of the big retailers accept Amex. But most of them that I came across only wanted either cash or Visa
I remember trying my Amex at a cafe in Tijuana and it got declined.
How do you order Uber same like over here in the states or I's it different
Same like US. I used the same app and same payment method that I use in US
Same. I work in TJ often and use Uber to get around. Very convenient and reliable.
Does Lyft work there?
You need a better microphone- very hard to hear
As a Tijuana local, I’m just saying this is actually just the most touristy areas
Your audio was bad. Hardly could hear you
I feel safest at the Gloria Bar, Tropical and Hk Club.
its all fun and games until something bad hapens. get your home broken into, get your copper plumbing or electrical wiring stolen, traffic sux, sidewalks sux, sewer smells, Bad internet, worse cellphone internet, borderwait to cross north or south especially on fridays. anecdotal evidence but many cross border commuters would rather live in the US side. they mostly live south because of limited funds to live comfortably in the US.
something can happen anywhere
You are Not in el centro!!! You are on Avenida,revolution.
Avenida Revolución is located in el Centro, which is what they call downtown in México.
I been in tijuana about 32times since 1963 is whend i came to usa calif and on those 32 times i visit with my compadre nothing happen to us visit ADELITA bar and casino in revolution saludes ala dueña del restaruant PLATO DE ORO,get a hair cut i dont go any more couse d driving my compadre die so i want to go and buy some bolsas para el mercado as a matter of fact i use to buy a brandy,tequila i still have about 10 ,nothing happen to us and my compadre use to go to d coahuila and come to the casino late
I thought it would be Portland.
😅
If Tijuana is so great why do we have so many illegals pouring into the U.S. illegals from different countries go through Tijuana they should stay there and experience all that Tijuana has to offer sounds like heaven.
Most of those Illegal are not from TJ
@@mhaas281 course not, from around the world I believe,most people already know that no matter where they are from we don't know who they are our government is not keeping track or vetting them that is a concern .
@@rosaesquibel477 Well I agree on that but what you wrote suggested they are mostly coming from TJ.
@@mhaas281 what part going "through" means exactly that going through not from , read carefully that was your take not mine !
