Lagunilla Market Frommer's Recommended

Location 3 blocks east of Plaza de Garibaldi, at the corner of Francisco Bocanegra
Transportation Metro: Allende

Frommer's Review

This is one of the most interesting and unusual markets in Mexico -- but watch out for pickpockets. It's only open on Sundays, when the Lagunilla becomes a colorful outdoor market filling the streets for blocks. Arrive around 9am. Vendors sell everything from axes to antiques. The two enclosed sections, on either side of a short street, Calle Juan Salvages, are open all week. They have different specialties: The one to the north is noted for clothes, rebozos (shawls), and blankets; the one to the south for tools, pottery, and household goods, such as attractive hanging copper lamps. This is also the area to find old and rare books, many at a ridiculously low cost, if you're willing to hunt and bargain. It's open daily from 10am to 7pm.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
