Travel to Tijuana?

Question

I am travelling to the States soon and am going to California. Is it worth checking out Tijuana, Mexico and around that area?

Answer 1

Hola! Never been but I have a lot of friends from Cali that have gone over the border to TJ,as they call it, many times. They say it can be a bit sketchy...but is definitely a good time if you are looking to party. They love going there to drink and party all night but it is a big city like any other it is dangerous at night. Just be smart...don't go alone and don't flash your money around or doing anything stupid. Just use your common sense and I think you will do just fine!

Answer 2

It definitely is. The advantage of visiting San Diego is that 20 minutes from there you're in a completely different world (the 3rd world). You will feel the immediate change in atmosphere. Its not  dangerous as people say it is. You should visit CECUT,

Plaza Fiesta, Plaza Monumental, and the beach including Cafe Lat.32, and go to my favorite sushi place Aki Sushi in Playas. Don't forget that you should not drink from the tap and never accept help from strangers at the ATM. Buy bottled water and have some pesos in your pocket to avoid using the ATM at night.
