The bus system in Mexico is excelent, especially if you take 1st class or deluxe busses, with lot's of room and if you are lucky the movies will be in English.
The buststion is nice and modern and from there anything is close with the cab, so getting top veracruz, the bus is your best bet. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

This is more a comment about Veracruz city buses. Of the places I've taken city buses in so far, they are the worst for comfort in Veracruz. They are like old converted school buses. The seats are hard metal, so if you're in the back of the bus as we were (and the streets are in such bad shape in places) that it is a most uncomfortable ride!
I am told also that at times these buses do not follow their supposed route, if someone pays them to take them to a certain place off-route. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Fort of San Juan de Ulua is a few miles outside Veracruz center. One of the few sights but nothing spectacular ( I did not see the inside...).
Sharing a taxi is more comfortable but a bus is much much more exciting. Reason: the buses are a little old, once they go faster than 20 km/h they fall apart!
So the driver has enough time to read his kinky books and have lunch. And the passengers have time to relax and take a long look at the harbour area of Veracruz. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 San Juan de Ulua by alza
Ask for directions in Veracruz Centro as San Juan de Ulua is very close but what with the Gulf of Mexico and the huge Port getting in the way, it,s a terribly long walk in an area where you,re not really allowed to walk. I walked... along a beach I never knew existed. Squatters live right on that beach, which is covered in detritus. A sign warns that the beach is not maintained for swimming or anything else and is unsafe to your health. A man caught up with me as I untangled myself from some huge cactus and insisted to get me back on the 2-lane road with no sidewalk to the Fortress. The area by the beach is dangerous and the road after that is along a canal where people live in run-down fishing boats. They launch their nets to catch shrimps and maybe even a few pelicans. None of them were too happy to see me on their turf.
TAKE A TAXI from Veracruz Centro, for USD5, to San Juan de Ulua Visitors Centre. Entrance fee USD3. Juice and snacks vendors at the entrance, plus cabs that wait there until closing time, 5 p.m. Leave a Comment Directions: There used to be a bus to the Fortress but nowadays, the bus leaves you on the highway where the dangerous beach starts, stil an hour away. Veracruz is about the hottest place I know. Take a cab.

 Inside San Juan de Ulua by alza
There used to be a bus to the Fortress but nowadays, the bus leaves you on the highway where the dangerous beach starts, stil an hour away. Veracruz is about the hottest place I know. Take a cab.
In case you wonder where all the water in some pics come from... there was flooding everywhere for a month after Hurricane Stan. Leave a Comment Directions: across the water from the Port in Veracruz

 Me at the fortress. by ahoerner
The main structure was built with coral stone from the surroundings. The place has been covered by fantastic legends and it was used during the centuries for commercial, military and jail purposes.
Curiosity: Some scenes of the movie "Romancing the Stone" (Michael Douglas & Kathleen Turner) were shot here; you may remember that.
Definitely worth a visit for the historical contents... Leave a Comment Address: In front of the bayOther Contact: Open from 9h00 to16h30 (tue-sun)

 Palacio Municipal in Veracruz by ahoerner
Interesting how life seems to be slow sometimes... you can even put some time aside to dance in the middle of the streets. Leave a Comment
