I plan on going to Lazaro Cardenas, Michoacan. I just want to know if anyone knows anything about this place. Is it safe? How are the locals? I also plan on taking the airplane into Mexico City, which I heard was dangerous. What is the best way to get from Mexico City to Lazaro Cardenas, Michoacan. Please tell me. Thanks!

From Michoacan to Mexico City there isn't that much of a distance. I just recommend you take a bus. Be careful in Michoacan because that is a drug cartel stronghold. Be extremely careful and most of the locals are very friendly. Mexico City is a very big city bigger than any American city so know where you are going and only take marked taxi cabs.

Well... as someone said before... take a flight or a bus to Morelia City 3 or 4 hrs from Mexico city.... i dont want to scare u.... I dont know if ur reason is work..., but as a tourist is a little dangerous now... if u take a bus u will stop several times to check ups, the army is alert cause Michoacan is one of the most active states selling drugs... and in some towns close to Lazaro Cardenas there are a lot of confrontations between government and traffic drugs... All that i can say is take care of ur self and be alert all around you... I guess not all is bad... there are beautiful places, beaches.... just use ur common sense... Good luck

It is not nearly as bad as it sounds in the news. Mexico City is a big city and its airport its one of the busiest in the world, so one has to be careful and apply tons of common sense, but I would not worry too much about it.
Anyway right outside the airport in Mexico City there is a bus station. In there you can buy tickets for Lazaro Cardenas and many other destinations. The bus is safe and clean. The tickets are bought right on the window by airport.
People in Michoacan are very nice and friendly. I have not been in Lazaro Cardenas, but I know many other places in Michoacan and I can tell you that is a very beautiful state full of surprises. I was there a couple of years ago watching the Monarch Butterflies.
Be careful, but try to relax. It will be fun,

I'm from Mexico City, The bad fame of my city sometimes is exaggerated.
Mexico City is the second largest city in the world, with 20 million people, obviusly as any other big city has a big number of crimes but not more than other big cities in the world like New York, Chicago, New Deli, Sau Paulo,or Berlin.
It is very safe if you use the common sence and don't do anything that you probably don't doing in another big city like go into dark lonely streets, counting your money in the midle of a sreet, etc. etc.
We have severals things to do here, i give you this link with all the information you need to know about Michoacan and Mexico City:

The best way is to fly from Mexico City to Morelia and then take a car the rest of the way. The Mexican army is in open warfare with the drug cartels in Michoacan, both side are killing each other off. Of course people get caught in the cross fire but not many. You should have a great time...

I don't really know anything about Mexico, but I know that it is indeed dangerous (the son of a very important Greek minister was murdered there when he was robbed last year). I don't want to scare you, I wish you to have a wonderful trip, which I am sure you will. Just be careful, don't try to play it hero if you are attacked, and try not to look like a "tourist" too much, don't carry cameras hanging around you, don't go to secluded places alone (stay in the crowd), etc.
