Things to Do in Cancun

Climbing the stairs of Chichen Itza will add a little color to your cheeks and to your trip. The history of the surrounding Mayan ruins is fascinating, so get a guide or a guidebook.

Cancun’s nightlife is unbelievable. The downtown area is packed with shot bars, swinging salsa joints and heaving clubs. So don’t stop until you’re lying on the beach watching the sun come up.

Escape the prices around the hotel zone and barter your heart out. Market 28 has many of the same leather goods and shot glasses as elsewhere, but the prices are better and the area is much more interesting.

It’s easy to hop on the ferry and head towards Isla Mujeres. This little island off the coast of Cancun is perfect for snorkeling, strolling around, or just basking in the sun.

Yes, we know it’s obvious… but we still had to mention it. The snowy white sands, the sun, the sea… it may be a cliché, but with such world-famous city beaches in Cancun it’d be hard to resist.
