Is a Coyoacán day trip practical?
A day trip means allowing time for an intercity bus journey and transfers in Mexico City. Mexico City’s tourism site identifies Pullman de Morelos as providing daily service to Cuernavaca and Estrella de Oro as operating regular service there. For Ejecutivo Dorado, arrive at the terminal 30 minutes before departure.
If your wider journey begins at the capital’s airport, the Mexico City airport to Cuernavaca route covers that separate transport leg.
How do you get from Cuernavaca to Coyoacán?
Plan the trip in two parts: an intercity bus journey to Mexico City, followed by a Metro connection toward Coyoacán. Confirm your arrival terminal and onward route before buying tickets.
For Ejecutivo Dorado, Pullman de Morelos accepts reservations by telephone or at ticket offices; its México Taxqueña and Cuernavaca Centro terminals accept credit or debit cards, as do Cuernavaca Casino de la Selva and Mexico City International Airport.
The museum identifies Metro General Anaya on Line 2 as the closest station when you travel on Line 2, and Metro Coyoacán on Line 3 as the closest when you travel on Line 3.
Line 2 runs between Cuatro Caminos and Taxqueña; Line 3 runs between Indios Verdes and Universidad. If you’re planning time in Cuernavaca before departure, the Cuernavaca Centro walking guide covers the city-centre area.
