If you seek an artistic experience in San Miguel de Allende, you can visit Centro Cultural Ignacio Ramírez El Nigromante to appreciate murals by renowned Mexican artists or explore Fábrica Aurora to witness working painters and sculptors in their studios. For those eager to delve into history in Oaxaca, don’t miss the 18th-century Oaxaca Cathedral, or explore Monté Alban, the ruins of a 2,300-year-old Zapotec city just outside of town. The hotel landscape in Mexico’s major cities is equally rich and diverse, showcasing the best of urban accommodations.
