The biggest park in the city i think! Tons of tourists and great atmosphere. Tons of shopping and food. The park is very safe and the crosswalks always have a helpful police officer.

It has a central location to meet friends. The tourist chairs also known as kissing chairs are a character of the park. Lush and shaded greenery in landscape.

Heart of Mérida! If you’re here in the city, you can find anything from shopping, street tacos, sights and especially experience the rich, Yucatán culture in Mexico. Wanna come back for those hidden street taco gems in the market place. Wish k could give them props, but can’t find their little taco stands in the map! I had a guide who helped find them.

Large town square filled with food vendors, artisans, and pigeons. View of the cathedral. Benches could use an upgrade. A fountain and more greenery would be nice. It was whatever

I love Merida. I hope to come back soon. Getting to the city center is easy from the Merida airport. I would recommend getting a bus ticket at the ADO counter at the airport to the ADO terminal. It cost us 45MX. Merida center has many beautiful sites, restaurants, clothing stores, and souvenirs. Always remember that bargaining is an option. I took a tour at Jarana Tours in the city center, they are located next to the Jarana Restaurant. I recommend the Chichen Itza tour, the big cenote is awesome. I recommend the Uxmal tour, that cenote is not as big but it's good. These tours are less expensive than purchasing online. I would also consider them as first time tours, I really found out what I like and don't like regarding the cenotes, pueblos magicos, and archeological sites. I plan to visit Chichen Itza via the ADO line. You can visit Progreso Port by bus, visit the AutoProgeso bus terminal.

Very relaxing to sit on a bench in the park. Every Monday at 9:00pm there is a traditional dancing! Don’t miss it!

This was a beautiful place in the city to visit. There are ruins that you can explore as well as lots of places for shipping and food in the square. The dressed up horses were a hoot. The park is beautiful. If you are ever in this area check it out!

Point of reference for many interesting Hotels, parks, restaurants and starting point for the Turibus ride! It’s a site where traditional celebration shows and market take place. Also the place to go for the main photo shoot at the color letters. Don’t miss the 8pm when most of the events start on weekends.

A beautiful place to walk and see all the historical buildings in the center of the city, a must to do when visiting Merida.

One of the best center parks in the whole city. Strongly recommend it!

Of course you have to visit here while in the city. Relaxing area is busy, but still comfortable. Vendors are not pushy.

It's just a wonderful park to sit and people watch in. Smack dab in the center of the city with a grat outdoor market on Sundays.

Plaza Grande is a buzz of vendors on Sunday morning. The cathedral is open to visitors and you can rent bicycles to bike around the Plaza as all the roads are closed to traffic. Ensure you check with the tourism office on the main square west side and find out about evening entertainment in the Plaza, it changes every night and is free

Lively central plaza with a park in the middle and lots of historic buildings including churches and museums all around it. Popular with locals and tourists alike. Plaza holds all kinds of events from recreations of Mayan ball game to displays of local dancing and the Sunday market that offers local artisans a chance to sell their wares to tourists. There are some restaurants around the square but they are not the best and, frankly, you'll do best to give them a wide berth.

This plaza is absolutely beautiful! The plaza itself is really amazing and definitely worth visiting, but do be aware that it is not the most comfortable place to go to relax, as YOU WILL be approached by so many people trying to sell you everything from tours to Mayan clothing! They also do have the famous Merida letters to take a nice photo in front of and the Merida cathedral is absolutely beautiful! This place should definitely be avoided during mid day though I must say because the sun here is brutal! Other than that a place that everyone should visit for a bit! If you'd like to see more, check out my YouTube channel Travelwithchris to see the plaza first hand!

Great plaza, alot of seats with shade. Not too busy, fantastic markets on Sunday. Drink and snack stands located around. A very nice place to unwind and relax.

Cultural activities, Merida en Domingo and just strolling or seating on the ‘You and Me’ seats make this square such a wonderful place to visit in Merida. Just be aware that the Merida heat will make it an unbearable task to do it during the day time. Wait ‘till the evening or get up early in the morning to visit this place.

Lovely park. Be sure to visit on a Sunday when there are extra seating areas and food stalls, music and entertainment. It’s a well maintained and beautiful park in front of the old cathedral. Got your Instagram letters to get you photo fix, lots of seating, a flag. It’s worth a wander. Also check out the covered walkway beside the catheter as they often display art to the public in there. The square is missing some nice cafes around the edge, unfortunately the best spots are occupied by a 7eleven, subway and a couple of dodgy diner looking places

Main square of Merida - or at least where lots of interesting things happen. Nearby is an artisan's market worth seeing. The square itself is lined with restaurants and other places to eat. It's nice and quiet during the day but livens up at night.

Merida is such a lovely city and this is one of the spots that makes it such. It's in a central location, right around all of the action. There is a lot of history to be learned in this area. I visited during both the day and night and safety was of no concern. As you can see, there are many magical pictures to be taken. Check it out!!

Perfect place to relax, soak in the local atmosphere, enjoy some street performances and live music.

A typical Spanish colonial plaza at the heart of the city with tons of restaurants, food stands, Yucatan state building, municipal building and other points of interests. We spent a good two hours there walking around, visiting public buildings, enjoying refreshments at Dulcería and sorbetería Colón, and checking out the bookstore at the corner.

Plaza grande Is a great place to hangout in the evenings, watching people and the commerce. The historic buildings around the plaza are all worth your time for exploration. Don't miss the free museum in the oldest building in Merida, today also a bank. There is usually a nice art exhibition in the covered alley next to the (necessary to visit) old cathedral. After visiting the sites, have a sorbet at sorbeteria colon!

This is a great place to come daytime or evening. The Plaza is big enough that a breeze blows through it so it's cooler than many other parts of the city. There's always a bench to be had. You can eat, get a drink or shop here. Many come to feed the pigeons. Monday night there are the wonderful Mayan dancers (free).

(Translated by Google) Its cathedral, the snowy ice creams, the little pig, and its friendly and attentive people !! (Original) Su catedral ,los helados del nevado ,la cochinita pibil, y su gente amable y muy atenta !!

(Translated by Google) It is closed and well because it avoids people in the place (Original) Está cerrado y bien porque evita gente en el lugar

(Translated by Google) Just as in the photo; clean, all its polite people. The vendors do not harass you, nor do they chase you, quite a few squirrels live there and climb trees and walk in the gardens in their habitat, they are not afraid because nobody is chasing or hurting them. Lots of greenery, very nice clothes. Sooo clean, you can't find trash or looking for it, its people take care of all its pre-Hispanic monuments, like their own homes. I loved visiting Yucatan (Original) Así como en la foto; limpio, toda su gente educada. Los vendedores no te atosigan, ni te persiguen, ahí viven bastantes ardillas y suben a los árboles y andan en los jardines en su hábitat, no temen porque nadie los persigue ni les hacen daño. Muchísima vegetación, ropa muy linda. Muuuuy limpio, no encuentras basura ni buscándola, su gente cuida de todos sus monumentos prehispánicos, como sus propios hogares. Me encantó visitar Yucatan

If you're in Mérida, there's no way around the Central Park. Although it's not really anything special, there's always something going on - vendors, exhibitions, tourists... Let's say it doesn't get boring ;)

Plaza Grande is the main square in central Merida. It's similar to many such squares throughout Mexico - rectangular in shape with many tourist attractions and important edifices around it. It's best to arrive at dusk when locals come out after the heat and the square gets lively. The central part occupies a park with greenery and many benches around - pay attention to double rounded ones for lovers, Merida is famous for. On 4 sides of the plaza are 4 Merida's biggest attractions - the imposing Cathedral, Casa Montejo (the oldest house, now a museum), red facade City Hall and the green Governor's palace

A great spot to sit, relax and/or people watch. Ample seating is available.

(Translated by Google) For now the police are very bad but do not let them be in the park (Original) Por ahora los policías se ponen muy mal pedo no dejan estar en el parque

Merida is such a beautiful historic town. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 a must see on any travel itinerary for the Yucatan.

Great little town, plenty of culture and experiences available for people who look for them. Try out Lavanda Boutique Hotel: awesome place with lots of history.

Largest park in Merida. Center of Merida city, surrouned with beautiful colonial architectures and old church. At Friday night 8pm they have video mapping show on the wall of San Ildefonso.

Lovely square, nice atmosphere, interesting sightseeing around the plaza, Friday nights light show with projections on to the cathedral.

We were here on a Saturday. On saturday evening there was some music and dancing but due to COVID the park is 'closed' after 10 PM.

Come and enjoy the refreshing shade, a cold agua fresca, and buy some artwork from local vendors.

A must see while in Merida. Plenty of park benches scattered around the park perfect for people watching and relaxing under the trees. Food vendors and many of the walking tours start from here.The park is surrounded by historic buildings and plenty of shops. Usually there are night-time activities most nights.

One of the places to visit when you are in Campeche. A classic Mexican Plaza with the usual activities: shoe shiners, hawkers, of local crafts, families enjoying time together, public art. Also don't miss the two museums close by of Mayan Architecture and Maritime History. Our favorite part of traveling is the art, crafts, architecture, culture and of course food. We work with Mayan artists and artisans from Guatemala. GuateMaya Art and Culture Connection

The best: - numerous sights to visit around. Church, palacio municipal, merida sign, among others. Highly recommended To improve: - nix

It is a nice place at the heart of the city, surrounded by many good restaurants, monuments, and shopping options

Pretty cool spot to go and chill. Everything is closeby from stores to food places. Every sunday and saturday they have different events. For example, the sunday I was there theh had a mini concert.

Loved sitting on a bench and people watch. Feeling so peaceful in the Merida parks, but the narrow streets filled with people and buses/cars freak us out....

Was there during early evening hours on day of the dead. There were people everywhere having a great time!

The city should ban horse-drawn carriages. Just like many other cities have done it. This is unnecessary and inhumane. Would you like to run through the streets dragging two heavy suitcases in temperatures over 30 degrees? No? Why asking animals to do it then? Some horses were not running clearly. Listen carefully. Horses can not shout out their pain. They show pain by limping, being wide-eyed, and having curled nostrils. If you're honest with yourself, it breaks your heart to see these poor animals standing in the middle of city traffic, gasping for air. We actually like Merida, but this leaves a very bitter aftertaste.

Muy bonito y agradable para caminar en sus calles

Excelente lugar para ir a cultivarte

(Translated by Google) A very quiet park to enjoy (Original) Un parque muy tranquilo para disfrutar

Muy bonito, pero cerrado por la pandemia.

Nada justifica el abandono del parque principal de merida

It is closed right now, due to the COVID-19.

Beautiful, surrounded by beautiful architecture. Beautiful spectacle on saturday evening on the facade of the cathedral

Great place to people watch usually something going on. Saturday nights they have a reenactment of the Mayan ball game

Square in the historic center. Quite lively on Sundays. Lots of vendors, though, and the souvenirs and jewelry they offer are very similar one to another.

Like my other park review (San Juan, nearby) this tells of a great public space! Just plan for an e evening visit if you're sensitive to the heat.

Awesome place to take in the sights of Merida and the mix of Aztec and Mayan history that built this city. Montejo’s house, the Cathedral and some amazing shops and restaurants lune the Center. Stop for lunch at Casa Maya (filtered ice and water and they take US currency) and there is a currency exchange station here for exchanging US to Pesos. 711 has awesome Mexican candies and Mexican versions of US snacks but do not take pesos FYI

As far as public plazas go, this one is great! Lots going on! Hat maker, musicians, pigeons, where you can find the double decker tour bus or perhaps you would rather have a carriage ride! Lots of trees for shade. Enjoy!

We visited the Plaza Grande as a part of a Carnival cruise excursion group. Although we didn't have long to spend there, we enjoyed seeing the beautiful views of the buildings, unique park benches, statues, nativity scene, and other Christmas decorations. The pigeons flew around the place in droves and local children tried to sell us colorful jewelry and purses. We also enjoyed the excellent, free citywide wifi, and there were several Pokestops to spin in the plaza. A quick but wonderful visit to a lovely place!

(Translated by Google) Excellent place (Original) Excelente lugar

This is the tipicall traditional and Colonial Square in Merida. It is mandatory try a sorbet or coffe in one of the places and also recomend to visit the Montejo House and the Cathedral!!

(Original) Es un lugar lleno de historia y bella arquitectura colonial, desafortunadamente la Plaza Grande ó zócalo está temporalmente inaccesible por la pandemia pero se puede caminar por las calles que rodean la plaza las cuales son de acceso único a peatones por lo mismo del covid.

(Translated by Google) Its square was very beautiful, we went in times of a pandemic and the Yucatecans were very friendly. They all take care of each other with mouth covers. I would have liked that the square was open. Be careful if you travel in a pandemic time to Merida, taxis hardly ever transport a passenger by car. Llo traveled with three minors and they did not want us to send the minors alone in the taxi. I know it is on the orders of the state but it was illogical to send minors alone. (Original) Muy bonita su plaza fuimos en tiempo de pandemia y los yucatecos muy amables . Se cuidan entre ellos mismos todos con cubre bocas. Me u viera gustado que la plaza estubiera abierta. Ojo si viajan en tiempo de pandemia a Mérida los taxis nadamás transportan un pasajero por carro. Llo viajé con tres menores y no nos querían que mandará los menores solos en el taxi. Se que es por ordenes de el estado pero se me iso in logico mandar menores solo.
