]]> Mérida, often called the “White City” because of its gleaming limestone buildings, is a treasure trove of history mixed with modern flair. From strolling along elegant boulevards to exploring museums that dive deep into Mayan culture, there’s no shortage of incredible sights. Here are a few of our favorites.

Paseo de Montejo

Paseo de Montejo is Merida’s most famous avenue. It actually took inspiration from the Champs-Élysées in Paris! The avenue is lined with grand mansions that hark back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the city experienced a boom from henequen production. Paseo de Montejo is perfect for a leisurely stroll under the shade of towering trees. 

Gran Museo del Mundo Maya

The Great Museum of the Mayan World houses one of the most comprehensive collections of Mayan artifacts in Mexico. It offers insights into the lives, culture, and contributions of the Mayan civilization. 

Catedral de San Ildefonso

Located in the heart of Merida on Plaza Grande, the Catedral de San Ildefonso stands as one of the oldest cathedrals in the Americas. It was built in the late 16th century using stones from Mayan temples. This historic church is a blend of architectural styles that is definitely worth the visit.

]]> The influence of Mayan culture can still be strongly felt in many places in Mexico. With a significant Mayan indigenous population, Mérida, Yucatán is one of the best possible examples, and here’s how you can explore Mayan culture and heritage during your visit.

Dzibilchaltún

Located just 10 miles north of Mérida, Dzibilchaltún is one of the most important Mayan archaeological sites in Yucatán. Temple of the Seven Dolls is the most significant structure on its premises, but there’s also a cenote located on its grounds, where many ancient objects were found.

Mayan World Museum of Mérida

Mérida is home to many amazing museums, but none of them compares to this one. In addition to being a true marvel of modern architecture, the Mayan World Museum of Mérida is worth the visit because it features exhibits of Mayan art, handicrafts, and history.

Parque Zoológico Animaya

If you’re looking for a kid-friendly experience while in Mérida, this zoo is the place to be. Parque Zoológico Animaya offers many attractions you can find in a classic zoo, but what sets it apart is its gigantic observation tower modeled after a Mayan stele.
