Travel Tips for Fans
With matches spread across the continent, planning your World Cup trip requires some strategy:
- ✈ Direct flights connect most host cities — book early as prices will surge
- 🏛 Hotels near stadiums will sell out — consider nearby areas and plan accommodation 6-12 months in advance
- 🗺 The US, Mexico and Canada all have different visa requirements depending on your nationality — check requirements for each country you plan to visit
- 💰 The USA and Canada use different currencies — and Mexico uses pesos. Prepare accordingly
- ⛰ AT&T Stadium and MetLife Stadium are not in city centers — plan for transportation to and from each venue
