Keep your eyes peeled for shiny shells to add to your collection back at home or try to spot creatures like crabs and sea stars at Chachacual and Maguey Bay. You can find these fantastic stretches of coastline 5 kilometres and 5 kilometres away, respectively.
Get a little exercise and enjoy a stroll around the Oaxaca Ethnobotanical Garden or El Llano Park. If you're feeling peckish, they're two nice spots to unfurl a blanket and have a picnic.
Do you want to understand the heart and soul of this place? If so, go to the Oaxaca Regional Museum and the Manuel Alvarez Bravo Photography Center. You'll also appreciate the Museum of Contemporary Art of Oaxaca.
One of the best ways to get to know a region is to learn all about its past, so don't miss Zocalo Square and Government Palace. Hungry for more? Continue your historical escapade at Zócalo.
Holy sites are windows into an area's soul. You'll soon discover an array of peaceful spaces here. Be sure to visit Church of Santo Domingo de Guzman and Oaxaca Cathedral. The San Felipe Neri Temple is another great option.
For a night out, go to a show at Macedonio Alcala Theater, a frequently visited venue.
Spend an afternoon checking out the many local markets and stores for a bit of retail therapy. Scour the display racks at Santo Domingo Square or Benito Juarez Market. Try Pochote Organic Market for some more variety.
Are you a serious sports buff? Then you should take a look at the event schedule at Technological Stadium of Oaxaca, located 3 kilometres to the northwest in Oaxaca.
Follow your nose to the Museo Filatelia and explore what's on offer. If you've got time, get yourself a bite to eat and continue onwards to Nuestra Senora de la Soledad Basilica.

From Centro, it's about 320 kilometres to the west to General Juan N. Alvarez International Airport (ACA). This is the nearest airport. Be sure to give yourself extra time to make your way there so you don't miss check-in.
If you'd rather spend money on experiences than on a hotel, the La Leyenda Hostel and the Hostal Del Barrio are two places you should take a look at. But if you'd rather be surrounded by luxury while you're here, the Quinta Real Oaxaca or the Palacio Borghese may be more to your liking. Just sit back, relax and let the expert staff do their thing.
