Oaxaca
See all Oaxaca Photos
The city of Oaxaca is one of the treasures of Mexican colonial architecture. The gorgeous city center, or Zócalo, is a haven of peace and tranquility. Tall trees cast shade on locals and visitors sitting outside at the many cafes, enjoying coffee, beer or a local specialty, such as lime-peel lemonade or the notorious smokey Oaxacan liquor, Mezcal.
The nearby ruins of Monte Albán – only about ten kilometers away – draw most visitors to Oaxaca, but it is the city itself that keeps them there and brings them back.

Traveler Reviews of Oaxaca
Amazing
100%I go there every year... wonderful people and amazing food. The architecture is so beautiful.
Dive into Mexican life and visit the markets of Oaxaca
100%The marketplaces are perfect for watching, smelling and hearing Mexican life.
Quaint, historic city
100%Colorful and full of history and culture, Oaxaca is one of the safer cities in Mexico. With a strong tourist infrastructure, Oaxaca is also very clean and its people are friendly. While the city itself is lovely with its abundance of outdoor and indoor markets and festivals, the outskirts of the town make for great day trips. For instance you can visit Monte Alban ruins and one of the many small pueblos, where you are not likely to find many tourists, but you'll find lots of locals to chat with.
