Essentials

City
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, a Pacific resort on Bahía de Banderas. The town was founded on 12 December 1851 as Las Peñas. 1 8
Population
The 2020 census counted 224,166 people in the Puerto Vallarta locality and 291,839 in the municipality. 2 3
Internet Speed
Selectra, table dated 21 Sep 2026, lists Telmex fibre at 120 Mb for MXN 349 a month with no lock-in, izzi 80 Mb at MXN 349 promotional, and Megacable symmetric 200 Mb at MXN 350 for 12 months then about MXN 529. Livingcost puts a 50 Mbps-or-higher bill near USD 31 (about MXN 573 at the 19 Oct 2026 FIX). 4 9 13
Currency & Banking
Mexican peso (MXN). Banco de México FIX was MXN 18.4253 per US dollar on 19 Oct 2026. Cards are common in hotels and larger restaurants; keep cash for city buses, markets and many small shops. 4 8
Tap Water
Do not drink the tap water. UK advice is boiled or bottled water only, and avoid ice. 5
Power
Supplies are 127/220 V and 120/240 V at 60 Hz, with Type A and B plugs. A North American plug usually fits; a European plug needs an adapter. 6
SIM Card
Telcel, AT&T and Movistar cover the city. AT&T Prepago on 22 Oct 2026 lists MXN 50 for 5 days and 750 MB, MXN 200 for 30 days and 4 GB, and MXN 300 for 30 days and 6 GB, with Mexico and US calls on those packs. A new chip needs a recarga of at least MXN 50. AT&T Go is eSIM-only in the Mi AT&T app. Telcel peso packs were not on a page that loaded. 7
Banking for Expats
Visitors pay with a foreign Visa or Mastercard where cards are taken, and with cash on buses and at markets. Opening a Mexican account is a temporary-resident step, not something a tourist stamp does. 8 33
Accommodation
Livingcost, updated 21 Jun 2026, puts a city-center one-bedroom near USD 1,066 a month (about MXN 19,640 at the 19 Oct FIX) and a cheaper one-bedroom near USD 584 (about MXN 10,760). The usual bases are Zona Romántica, Centro and Marina Vallarta. 8 13
Cashless Friendly
Cards work in hotels, supermarkets and many sit-down restaurants. City buses, market stalls and a lot of small shops still expect cash. 8 15
Short Term Rentals
Short stays are hotels and monthly rental listings. Calle Francisco I. Madero in Zona Romántica is the cheap-hotel street; Wikivoyage names Hotel Lina at Madero 376 and OYO Hotel Bernal at Madero 423, and does not print a current nightly rate. 8
Budget Accommodation
Hotel Lina (Francisco I. Madero 376) and OYO Hotel Bernal (Madero 423) are the simple hotels Wikivoyage lists on that Zona Romántica street, in a February 2025 update. The page does not give a current nightly price. 8
Best Area to Stay for Tourists
Zona Romántica for the beach, the bars and a walkable grid. Marina Vallarta and the hotel zone if you want the marina and a short ride from the airport. 8
Best Area to Stay for Digital Nomads
5 de Diciembre and Versalles are the quieter residential grids north of Centro, with fibre from the national operators. For a desk, ángulo cowork is in Lázaro Cárdenas and Coworking Vallarta is on Medina Ascencio in Marina Vallarta. 9 10 12

Social Events for Expats
Vallarta Pride 2026 ran 17 to 24 May, with the parade on 21 May and a block party that evening in front of Los Muertos Brewing on Lázaro Cárdenas. The Old Town taproom at Lázaro Cárdenas 302 is open daily 11:00 to midnight. 22 27

Transportation

Best Taxi/Ride App
Uber covers the city and picks up airport rides on the far side of the pedestrian bridge, not at the terminal door. A 2026 fare page lists a day taxi at MXN 50 to start and MXN 14.30 per km, so 5 km is about MXN 122. Buy an airport taxi at the official kiosk if you want a dispatched cab. 8 40
Best Beach Nearby
Playa de los Muertos, in Colonia Emiliano Zapata, is the main town beach. Playa Conchas Chinas, just south of that headland, is the quieter cove. 1

Public Transport Passes
There is no metro and no published monthly pass. Urban buses are cash to the driver: MXN 11 from 1 Apr 2026, and MXN 5 for students, older people and people with a disability. Flag the bus; one ticket is one ride. 8 15
