I’ve crossed this border over 100 times while living in Tijuana. This border crossing can seem a bit intimidating at first because it is one of the busiest border crossings in the world.
#Tijuana zona norte how to#
In the following section, I’ll outline how to travel to the border by public transport and by car. The exact travel time depends on your mode of transport and traffic. It takes around 45 minutes to an hour to travel from downtown San Diego to the border. This crossing is called the San Ysidro Port of Entry. This is where the U.S-Mexico border crossing is located. After you cross into Mexico, you’re less than a mile from downtown Tijuana. Tijuana is located about 18 miles (29 km) south of San Diego. Now is an excellent time to visit Tijuana. Even in the year that I have lived here, I have noticed huge changes.
Restaurants, bars, clubs, cafes, and food stands are popping up all over the city. Tijuana is no longer a lawless border town. Now, the city is back and better than ever. Over the past few years, Tijuana has been experiencing a revitalization. The news of violent crime scared many American tourists away.
For many years during the 2000s tourism dried up and the city was quite depressing. Unfortunately, Tijuana has earned itself a bit of a bad reputation due to the high crime rate that the city has experienced in the past. Tijuana is sometimes called ‘the most visited city in the world’ because over 50 million people cross between San Diego and Tijuana per year. The city is considered a cultural center of Mexico. Tijuana is the 5 th largest city in Mexico and one of the fastest-growing with a metro population of about 1.8 million people.
