ZÓCALO
The zócalo is truly the heart of this colonial city with its decorative tin bandstand set in the center of the square block central park with its benches and gardens. Surrounding the park are city streets no longer open to traffic except that on foot. Lining these streets are cafes, shops and hotels all of which are dominated by the cathedral on one side and on the other side the new Museo del Palacio, a building that for many years was Oaxaca's City Hall. All of those government offices have now been moved away from the city center.

The zócalo is the place to experience the thriving social life of Oaxaca. Open air Sunday concerts often given by the Oaxaca Symphony Orchestra and a continuing stream of other events and exhibits make this an even more special place to take in and enjoy the character of the city.
