Known forartisan marketdowntownauthenticcrafts
Directions

A well-regarded downtown artisan market that caters primarily to locals and savvy shoppers looking for authentic Mexican crafts at fair prices. You'll find a solid selection of Oaxacan textiles, Chiapas amber, hammocks, and regional food products like chili pastes and mole. Vendors here are generally less aggressive than in tourist-facing markets, making the experience more comfortable. It's a bit harder to find without local guidance but worth the effort for the pricing alone.
