Top Culture Spots in Mazatlan

If you're into art, don’t miss the local galleries surrounding the square. Ask the artists about their work; many are happy to share their stories and insights, giving you a deeper appreciation.

Plan your visit on a weekend to catch the local artisan market. It's bustling with unique handmade goods and is a great place for souvenirs that support local artists.

Bring cash! Some vendors and restaurants don't accept cards. Plus, having cash on hand makes tipping street performers or buying local crafts a breeze.

I recommend visiting on a weekday in the morning around 10 AM to avoid the crowds and have a more personal experience with the exhibits. It felt way more enjoyable without bumping into a ton of other tourists

I think it's a good idea to bring some cash as some of the smaller shops nearby might not accept cards. Plus, you'll want to grab some local snacks after exploring the museum!

If you’re on a budget skip the overpriced gift shop at the end and look for local vendors outside. You can find some pretty unique shells and trinkets for half the price!

Definitely check out the interactive exhibits; they made the visit way more fun! I suggest planning to spend at least 1.5 to 2 hours to really take it all in... Don't rush through!
