Top Architecture Spots in Taxco

Plan to check out the Zocalo in the evening around 7 PM. The lights really create a magical atmosphere, and you'll probably catch some live music or performances too!

Try to visit Zocalo on a weekday if you can. It gets super crowded on weekends, and I found it much easier to enjoy the architecture and snap pics without a ton of people in the way.

I suggest bringing a camera with a good zoom. You’ll want to capture the beautiful details of the buildings – they’re stunning!

Don't skip the small food stalls around the Zocalo. The quesadillas I tried were amazing and way cheaper than in the fancy restaurants nearby.

I suggest visiting the Temple of Chavarrieta around 9 AM to enjoy the peace and quiet before it gets crowded. The morning light also makes for better photos!

If you want a great view, head to the terrace towards the back of the temple. I almost missed it and was so glad I found it as the sunset views are stunning

My advice is to bring some snacks and water. The cafe on-site is a bit overpriced, and it’s nice to enjoy a little picnic while soaking in the views from the courtyard.

I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. It was way less crowded when I went, and I could take my time exploring without worrying about bumping into others all the time
