Directions

La Ciudadela is the best fixed artisan market in the city for quality Mexican crafts, with hundreds of stalls selling textiles, Talavera pottery, Oaxacan woodcarvings, silver jewelry, and folk art from across the republic. Unlike airport gift shops, vendors here are often the artisans themselves or direct family representatives, and bargaining is expected and welcomed. Quality varies stall to stall so take your time — the best pieces reward patient browsing.
