　　In former monastic grounds behind the Templo de Santo Domingo, this garden features plants from around Oaxaca state, including a staggering variety of cacti. Though it has been growing only since the 1990s, it’s already a fascinating demonstration of Oaxaca’s biodiversity. Due to acts of vandalism, visits are by guided tour only; be there five minutes before they start.

Zócalo
Oaxaca City
　　Traffic-free, shaded by tall trees and surrounded by elegant portales (arcades), the Zócalo is the perfect place to start soaking up the Oaxaca atmosphere. It bustles with life by day and night, as marimba ensembles, brass bands and roving buskers float their melodies among the crowds, hawkers try to offload...
La Máquina
Oaxaca City
　　At the center of this gallery's workshop is an exceedingly rare 8-ton J Voirin lithography press, which prints both acrylics and woodcuts. Works on display in the showroom range from talented up-and-comers to established artists such as Demián Flores. ...
Mercado 20 de Noviembre
Oaxaca City
　　Looking for cheap street food? Look no further. Dozens of good, clean comedores (food stalls) fill this large market where wait staff will thrust menus to within an inch of your nose as you stroll past. 　　The biggest treat for carnivores is the smoky Pasillo de Carnes Asadas (Grilled Meat...
Museo Rufino Tamayo
Oaxaca City
　　A top-class museum, even by Oaxaca's high standards, showing off a wondrous collection of pre-Hispanic art donated by the city's most famous artist, Rufino Tamayo (1899−1991). It traces artistic developments in preconquest times and includes some truly beautiful pieces laid out in color-coded backlit cases in a series of uncluttered...
Cafébre
Oaxaca City
　　This pleasant cafe offers a small lunch menu to pair with a wide selection of single-origin coffee, prepared in a variety of ways, depending on batch and preference. If you want to be able to choose between an AeroPress, French press, Chemex, espresso, or moka pot, this is your place....
Templo de Santo Domingo
Oaxaca City
　　Gorgeous Santo Domingo is the most splendid of Oaxaca’s churches, with a finely carved baroque facade and nearly every square centimeter inside decorated in 3D relief with intricate gilt designs swirling around a profusion of painted figures. Most elaborate of all is the 18th-century Capilla de la Virgen del Rosario...
Fonda Florecita
Oaxaca City
　　A popular local haunt for more than 50 years, this is the classic Oaxaca market-food experience. There's no printed menu, so you might try the salsa de queso (cheese in a spicy tomato-based sauce) with a chocolate atole (a sweet corn-based drink). Nothing fancy here, just good cheap grub served...
Espacio Zapata
Oaxaca City
　　In a city of provocative graphic art, this workshop and gallery is a key agitator. Founded by the art collective Asaro (Asamblea de Artistas Revolucionarios de Oaxaca) in 2006, and never satisfied to put down its paintbrush for long, it broadcasts an ever-changing menu of events, discussions, workshops and expos....
Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca

Andador Turístico
Oaxaca City
　　Historic, romantic, dignified and safe, wonderful Calle Alcalá (traffic-free since the 1980s) is what Oaxaca is all about. It runs north from the cathedral to Templo de Santo Domingo and is lined by typical colonial-era stone buildings that are now home to artisan shops, galleries, museums, cafes and bars. Always...
