About Market 28

Market 28 is an outdoor/indoor market with over 500 stalls of bargains. You will need a few hours to look around as it is as confusing as a maze. You may be tricked to go into a shop with the same name. Stay alert and have a look before you enter. This shopping market sells souvenirs, handicrafts, embroidered dresses and blankets, leather goods, clothes, silver jewelry, and Mexican artifacts. It has excellent eating places where you get delicious and cheap food. You can bargain here and if you do not like the price offered, visit the next shop.

Tips

  • Be aware of the actual Market 28 as all the buses and taxis drop you first at Plaza 28 which is very expensive. If you walk ahead for about 10 minutes, you will find the real Market 28 which is less expensive.
  • You always need to bargain as the first price a vendor quotes is very high. It is better if you enquire about prices at other places (even at the hotel where you are staying) before buying anything.
  • Always carry local currency (Pesos) in cash as the vendors quote unreasonable exchange rates. Even ATMs also charges high rates.  
  • Always visit the places that the locals go shopping, for the real stuff, and with a local price.
  • If planning to buy gold or silver, download an app for your phone to see the current silver and gold prices per gram. Be ready to show that to them if required.
  • You can enjoy the good food inside the market and also in the restaurants there.
