Zócalo (Plaza de la Constitución)

Great place to pick up the usual gifts or local gear! Also great eating along the west side of the square. Pick up a hat for yourself, some shaved ice to stay cool mid day, and just about any other kind of clothing, accessory, or hand made novelty.

A nice historic square in Oaxaca. One of the more touristy spots in Oaxaca with vendors and more brand name shops. Still nice to walk through on your way to other places.

Pleasant to walk around. I like it in the evening, having lived in SE Asia it is incredibly quiet with no traffic at all.

Christmas decorations are going up

I didn't like the numerous overflowing large rubbish containers, which attract vagrants. Very out of place in the center of Oaxaca.

Always something going on in or around the Zócalo. Today it was an impromptu parade with music and dancers to promote mescal. The Cathedral has been open. Don't miss the acid etched angels on the entry doors.

Very pretty area with nice architecture. If in the area you must visit. Nice night life with live music, dancing, and other entertainment.

The area is beautiful. Unfortunately it was closed and the attendants are very rude when asked questions. We were not able to see it.

100% recommended. Tons of amazing flavours and a nice open-air market to visit.
