Plaza Grande

The biggest park in the city i think! Tons of tourists and great atmosphere. Tons of shopping and food. The park is very safe and the crosswalks always have a helpful police officer.

It has a central location to meet friends. The tourist chairs also known as kissing chairs are a character of the park. Lush and shaded greenery in landscape.

If you're in Mérida, there's no way around the Central Park. Although it's not really anything special, there's always something going on - vendors, exhibitions, tourists...
Let's say it doesn't get boring ;)

Plaza Grande is the main square in central Merida. It's similar to many such squares throughout Mexico - rectangular in shape with many tourist attractions and important edifices around it. It's best to arrive at dusk when locals come out after the heat and the square gets lively.
The central part occupies a park with greenery and many benches around - pay attention to double rounded ones for lovers, Merida is famous for.
On 4 sides of the plaza are 4 Merida's biggest attractions - the imposing Cathedral, Casa Montejo (the oldest house, now a museum), red facade City Hall and the green Governor's palace

It's just a wonderful park to sit and people watch in. Smack dab in the center of the city with a grat outdoor market on Sundays.

A great spot to sit, relax and/or people watch. Ample seating is available.
