"Mercado 28 (Market 28)" Top 5 Page for this destination Markets Tip by Kaspian

You can literally get lost in Mercado 28, it's a maze of shops where every corner can look so similar you wonder if you're walking in circles. This is your one-stop shopping for all the Mexican souvenirs you could want, without the pushy pressure of the other downtown markets on Avenida Tulum.
You can spend anywhere from a few hours to an entire day in this market. Make sure you have a specified meeting time and place if you seperate, otherwise you may never find each other.
They accept pesos and American dollars.
About half the price of the same souvenir items found in the Hotel Zone, but have your haggling skills ready.
