Oaxaca is a very colorful city that is rich in history. If you plan on doing tours, book the when you get there. They are waaayyy cheaper then online. One tour you have to take is to Hierve el Agua. Tours are cheap and it’s only like an hour from the city. The view is incredible! Another tour is to Monte Alban. It’s an archeological site similar to the Pyramid of the sun outside of Mexico City. When you are in the city there plenty of places to walk to and visit. The Jardín Etnobotánico de Oaxaca is a beautiful botanical garden that is a must see. Just make sure to check the schedule for English tours. They didn’t have any available on the day I went so I just listened to the guide in Spanish. There are plenty of museums and churches to explore as well. The only thing is if you are a foodie, like myself, you will be disappointed. The food was much better in Mexico City.
