What to see and do in Oaxaca
Santo Domingo Church at dawn
Excerpts from Viva Oaxaca: Oaxaca has more than twenty churches and ex-convents, most of which are of architectural or artistic interest. The star, however, is the 16th-Century Santo Domingo de Guzman, on the pedestrianized street called Alcalá. The Renaissance façade of the church is striking, changing its mood hour by hour with the shifting light . . .
The Museo Rufino Tamayo, at Morelos 503, houses the famed artist's great personal collection of prehispanic, colonial and modern art and artifacts . . .
Our travel guide, Viva Oaxaca, describes the city of Oaxaca's lively arts scene, its craft vendors, shops and markets, where to stay, where to eat, where to sample mezcal, and just about everything else to help you make the most of your vacation. Our hotel, restaurant, travel, sightseeing and recommendations about what to see and do are based on our own experience, so they are practical, reliable, and up-to-date.
