Getting Around
This will bring you to the airport, and probably this is where you came from if you took the bus. Walk to Avenida 10 right around the corner to get a taxi for around 40 pesos. If you prefer to walk it will take around 40 minutes to walk all the way from Juarez (1st) to us (52nd) over Fifth Avenue with all the bars, restaurants and shops. It won't be boring! ;)
