4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Sto Domingo convent museum worth visiting, also the textile museum behind the cathedral and the san Pablo arts centre. Good restaurants in the 20th of November market and free concerts in the Art Deco theatre.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Oaxaca is a must do place for anyone wanting to experience real Mexico. It is a very relaxed and friendly place. Great cuisine and very unique. The nearby places of Mitla and Monte Alban are very much worth visiting

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

A nice town, great history ruined by uncaring staff at the hotel.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

MARO shop (Cinco de Mayo near to Plaza Santo Domingo) is a great place to buy clothes and gifts if you want to make sure the payment goes directly to the women who produced the goods. Prices are marked on goods so there is no haggling needed.
