Staying at El Pueblo puts you within an easy stroll of hundreds of restaurants, cafés, bars, & bakeries, art galleries, boutiques, museums, markets, and other attractions.  The lovely Parque Santa Lucía is just three blocks south of us; the Plaza Grande, fronted by the oldest cathedral in the Americas, is three blocks further south; and the teeming main market, Mercado Lucas de Galvéz, another three blocks south.  
To the north, Paseo de Montejo provides an inviting, verdant environment for walking, skating, running, or cycling.  The Paseo connects El Pueblo directly to the iconic Monumento a la Patria, with its bas-relief history of the nation, and also to the Estadio Salvador Alvarado sports complex.  Sunday mornings and the first Saturday evening of every month, the Paseo is partially closed to vehicular traffic for the popular Bici Ruta.  Every Saturday evening, a stage is erected on the remate of Paseo de Montejo for Noche Mexicana, a weekly festival of Mexican music, dance, and craft.  The remate is also the site of several scheduled cultural events throughout the year, such as Mérida Fest and Noche Blanca.
