The historic center is compact and easy to explore on foot, but the cobblestone streets call for comfortable shoes. To reach farther neighborhoods or nearby sites, you can use city buses, taxis, or colectivos, sharing the ride with other passengers. Taxis do not always use the meter: agree on the fare before setting off. For excursions outside the city, check timetables and departure points carefully.
From November to April the climate is generally drier; from May to October, rain is more frequent, often in the afternoon. July comes alive with the Guelaguetza celebrations, while from late October to early November, Día de Muertos draws many visitors. During these periods, it’s wise to book accommodation and transport well in advance.
To sample the local cuisine, explore the Benito Juárez and 20 de Noviembre markets, as well as the small fondas in the center. Look for specialties such as mole, tlayudas, tamales, and Oaxacan hot chocolate; for bolder flavors, try chapulines too. At busy stalls, ingredients tend to be fresher because of the faster turnover: choose carefully and ask the price before ordering.
