Get in
If you don't have a budget, you can fly directly to San Luis Potosi, but it is recommended to fly to Mexico City and take a bus to SLP, if you prefer to save.
Get around
In addition to buses, the city has trollies at very inexpensive prices to get around. Taxis are also cheap, yet you can get around a great portion of the city on foot.
A conversational understanding of Spanish will aid you greatly during your visit, as few SLP citizens will fluently speak English. Indeed, it is a very chic city for learning the Spanish language without being distracted by the English of tourists.
Drink
Be sure to find La Calle San Francisco in the city's downtown sector and look for Cafe Luna, which sits on a rooftop surrounded by brick-covered alleys and a great starlit view.
