        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in Ciudad de México and how does that affect where I should fly?",
        "answer": "Ciudad de México is a single city-state, so the destination region is the Mexico City metropolitan area. Popular neighborhoods include Centro Histórico for history and architecture, Roma and Condesa for dining and nightlife, and Coyoacán for Frida Kahlo’s house and bohemian charm. Since all areas are served by Mexico City International Airport, your arrival airport doesn’t change based on neighborhood choice, but the new Felipe Ángeles International Airport also serves the region, mainly for domestic and some international flights. Most international visitors still fly into Mexico City International, which is closer to central areas."
      },
      "q7": {

You may stay visa-free for up to 180 days.\n\nThis is general guidance to help you plan, not official immigration advice — entry rules can change and can depend on your nationality and circumstances, so please confirm the current requirements with the relevant embassy or official government source before you travel.",
