Market 28

A good spot to check out souvenirs is Market 28, the huge open air flea market located in downtown Cancun. It's a maze of stalls and vendors selling everything from silver jewelry to art work, postcards to leather. Each stall features something different. Take your time to shop around.

It's by far the largest of the marketplaces in Cancun so if you can't find that souvenir here, you probably won't find it elsewhere. This popular market is filled with Cancun shops selling many of the same souvenir items found in the Hotel Zone, but at half the price.


 

Cancun Shopping Adventures

Shops are open daily from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm. In Cancun, visit downtown flea markets and the malls of Caracol, Flamingo and Kukulkan, which are open daily from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. Duty Free Shops  representing world reknown stores offering jewelry, watches and clothing at great prices, are abundant at the malls and plazas in Cancun and the shops in Isla Mujeras.

Let us first start by saying there is no shortage of stores in Cancun to buy nice things. In the hotel-zone, which is 21 miles long, the malls are spread out. These malls are quite nice and sell almost anything you can think of. The malls carry the up-scale shops where you will find the latest European fashions, expensive perfumes and lots of jewelry. You also find a large number of stores selling Mexican crafts. The malls could also be classified as tourist attractions since they all try to outdo each other by including entertaining features. Each mall will have at least one hot club and more than a few restaurants.

Travelling into Cancun City you will find it just like any other city, filled with stores catering to the people who live in Cancun, but there are real bargains to be found in the city plazas and flea markets.

These are our favorite flea market vendor lines (All In Fun):

  • Hola, Senor, you are my final hope!
  • Amegos, come in and let me rip you off!
  • Hola Senor, we have exactly what you are looking for!
  • You say, "just looking", they say, "just selling".
  • Broken English spoken here perfectly!

Almost every hotel has a convenience store and usually a boutique selling arts and crafts. Many hotels also have a store selling tequila and cigars.

There are many options for getting around Cancun. If you like to control your own schedule of where and when you want to go somewhere, you will want to consider renting a car. If you don't feel comfortable driving in another country, or just don't want the hassle of driving around, you can either take a taxi or use Cancun's public transportation system. Either way, there are a lot of options for seeing the sights!
