Parque Santa Lucía

Romance is alive in this gorgeous old opera house in central Merida, where actors still tread the floorboards and the sweet sounds of violins fill the air.

An attractive setting, an enthralling past, an old church and a neoclassical hotel make this a must-see stop-off during your time in Merida.

Visit chapels and survey impressive works of religious art inside this ancient church, an imposing building in the historical center of Merida.

Locals stop for friendly chats and large shady trees line the paved walkways. This main square is truly the heart of downtown Merida.

Investigate the elegant rooms of one of the most photographed buildings in Merida, a centuries-old property covered in pastel pink.

View some of the creative outpourings of leading Mexican artists, living and dead, when you tour this museum's halls and external exhibition spaces.
