Knowing how to get around will make getting to and from the nightclubs easier, especially after a long night of drinking and dancing. It is possible to get around Cancun by foot; however, depending upon where you are staying, the easiest and most popular way to get around Cancun is by the bus system. The bus makes frequent stops throughout the downtown area. You can also rent a car from the airport, but you need to be sure you are ready to drive on the narrow, crowded roads with speedy traffic patterns. Those not wanting to drive themselves around Cancun can hire a taxi, but this is more expensive than taking the bus.
