Frequently asked questions

What is the elevation of Mexico City in feet and metres?

Mexico City is at 2,232 m, or 7,322 ft, above sea level, read at a point within 500 m of its centre whose height is the median of the area. Within 5 km of the centre the ground runs from 2,223 m to 2,273 m.

Is Mexico City at high altitude?

Moderately. At 2,232 m (7,322 ft), Mexico City is above 1,500 m (4,900 ft), where some visitors feel short of breath, but below the 2,500 m (8,200 ft) from which altitude sickness becomes common.

What is the highest point near Mexico City?

Within 5 km of the centre, the highest ground is 2,273 m (7,458 ft) at 19.44153, -99.08245. The lowest is 2,223 m (7,293 ft) at 19.43209, -99.08102.

How is the elevation of Mexico City measured?

From the Copernicus DEM, a 30 m elevation model made from satellite radar between 2011 and 2015. It includes roofs and trees, so the figure is read at the point whose height is the median of 121 points within 500 m of the centre, rather than at one point that may fall on a building.
