Oaxaca
Mezcal, mole and Zapotec markets in Mexico's most beloved colonial city.
Simpan
Gambaran umum
Oaxaca is the Mexico that travellers fall for: a green-stone colonial centre, a Zapotec and Mixtec cultural heartland, the markets of 20 de Noviembre and Benito Juarez, seven moles, the mezcal villages of the valley, Monte Alban's mountaintop ruins and a Day of the Dead that is the most moving in the country. It is smaller, slower and cheaper than Mexico City, and the Pacific coast (Puerto Escondido, Mazunte) is a mountain road or a short flight away.
Mengapa dikunjungi
For the deepest indigenous culture and the best food in Mexico, in a walkable city with spring weather and a modest price tag.
Rincian anggaran
Hostel beds 250 to 400 pesos, rooms 700 to 1,300, one-bedroom apartments 9,000 to 15,000 pesos a month (Jalatlaco and the centre have risen; Reforma and Xochimilco neighbourhoods are cheaper). Tlayudas 60 to 100 pesos, a market comida 70 to 120, mezcal from 50 a glass, colectivo to Monte Alban 50 to 70.

Centro for the plazas and churches, Jalatlaco for cobbled calm and cafes, Xochimilco (the barrio, not the canals) for a quieter local feel, Reforma for value, and the villages (Teotitlan del Valle, San Agustin Etla) for weeks in the valley.
Kawasan
Centro (plazas, markets), Jalatlaco (cobbles, cafes, murals), Xochimilco (aqueduct, quiet), Reforma (value, local), San Felipe del Agua (hills, affluent), the valley villages.

Hal yang bisa dilakukan
Berdasarkan gaya perjalanan
Satu basis data destinasi, tujuh tampilan. Skor kesesuaian adalah penilaian editorial dari lima.
Cheap, safe and sociable hostels, markets for every meal, Monte Alban by colectivo and the coast beyond.
Spanish schools with homestays, volunteering in the villages and a cultural education in mole and mezcal.
US time zones, a strong long-stay community, cafes with fibre and a city that is easy to love; smaller coworking scene than the capital.
Pelancong Jangka Panjang Keliling Dunia
The classic stop between Mexico City and Chiapas or the coast on the way south.
Mild climate, low costs, culture and a large expat and retiree community; healthcare is adequate locally and excellent in Mexico City.
Spanish immersion, cooking classes in mole, weaving and natural dye workshops, mezcal study.
Walkable, gentle, beautiful and safe, with good hotels from $50 and the valley by driver; a favourite of older travellers for decades.
Praktis
Keamanan
Oaxaca city is among Mexico's safest; teachers' protests and road blockades can disrupt travel (often around May and June); the mountain road to the coast has had robberies at night (travel by day or fly).
Penipuan umum
Few; mezcal sold as 'artisanal' at tourist prices, and inflated Day of the Dead tour packages.
Konektivitas dan kerja jarak jauh
Fibre in most central apartments and cafes (50 to 150 Mbps); coworking at Convivio, Selina and a few cafes; 4G is reliable in the city, weaker in the valley.
A calmer nomad base than Mexico City with the same time zones, good cafe fibre and a strong community of long-stayers, artists and Spanish learners; the valley and the coast are the weekends.
