So, I don't have a lot of time, but want to have some fun in Juarez tonight/tomorrow. Which bridge has the closets MP? Basically, I want to walk into Juarez, have some fun, quickly walk out and be on my way. Looking for an easy crossing, a close MP, and an easy quick walk out. Any suggestions?

Also for those crossing the Zaragoza bridge, if you walk across, where the heck do you park? I did;t see a parking lot nearby.

I think if you are walking across the best bridge to take is the Santa Fe bridge downtown, u can pay for parking right by the bridge and your car will be safe its about $3 for 0-3 hrs. It costs 50 cents to cross over and about the same coming back. There is a mp close by walking distance but its not that great last time I went (cleopatras). Your best bet is to get a taxi and say were you wanna go like genesis and the usual rate for that is $15 and they wait for you to finish and take you back to the bridge. Also I would exchange your dollars for pesos because you will save more money, I pull out like 800 pesos and that's like $50.
As for the Zaragoza bridge there isn't a place to park most of the time someone would have to drop you off and pick you up when you get back at that bridge. Also there really isn't much close by to there that I know of.

Thanks for the info jamac. That's what I did last time. I just had a small amount of time, and was hoping for a quick walk over, have some fun and walk back. I know there is a place right over the Zaragoza bridge, but there is no place to park over there. I walked past Cleopatras last time, but it was closed.

HayMitch, I havent been to Juarez in long time, I suppose you still need a passport to cross even if you walk over??

RicsP, Yeah they check passports when walking over. I have one of those border crossing cards, but they do check.

Do you have any idea if you can park a semi (truck, no trailer) there?

Thanks!!

Roadwarrior, by the Sante Fe bridge there is a railyard. Lots of semis over in that area, not sure if it is secured or open to anyone though.
