I want to go to Oaxaca, MX during xmas and need advice.?

Question

Can I "wing it" without hotel reservations, and figure it out when i get there? I know the town gets busy but i'd rather figure it out as i go. Also, i've had different advice on where to go along the coast south of the city for the best no-frills adventure. advice appreciated.
thanks!!

Answer 1

I have been to Oaxaca twice and have never needed a reservation. I found a variety of hotels and rates. I love the downtown and the local market is a must. Travelling outside the city was fun, especially seeing the amount of fabrics.



Monte Alban is nice and I took a bus as I also took a bus to the coast line.



Oaxaca is a real artsy community with balck pottery, music. great brass bands in the downtown.



Christmas, make sure you have warm clothes.



Enjoy
