Cancun is one of the most important tourist destinations in México and the world, and it’s best known for its beaches and nightlife, but there’s another part of this city that sometimes is unknown for most of the travelers.
In theory, Cancun is divided into two parts: Cancun Hotel Zone and Cancun City / Downtown, and most of the time tourists don’t get to know the second part of Cancún, or at least, not entirely. So, if you want to know more about Cancún and experience the local life, you can go to any of these places.
Mercado 28 / Plaza Bonita
In the heart of Cancun’s Downtown, you will find two of the most historic and iconic places in this city: Plaza Bonita and Market 28. Here you’ll find a lot of souvenirs for your family and friends or have a really good meal in any of the restaurants that are in here. The best part is that you can get there easily; just take a bus (Route 1 or 27) from your hotel and you’ll be there in a few minutes.

Kabah Park
Despite being a crowded city, Cancún has a natural lung that provides to Cancun citizens the opportunity of being one with nature. Located on Kabah Avenue, Kabah Park is a place where you can exercise surrounded by trees, have a relaxed walk or maybe enjoy a picnic in one of the gardens of the park. Here you can also find a small museum where you can learn about the history of the city; a pond where, if you’re lucky enough, you can see crocodiles and turtles; and a replica of a Mayan village.

Andres Quintana Roo Soccer Stadium/Beto Ávila Baseball Stadium
Located on Kabah Avenue, the Andres Quintana Roo stadium is the home of the soccer club Atlante F.C since 2007. Watching a match of the local team can be a good way to have a good time in this city. The best part, the tickets are not expensive and it’s super easy to get there.

Cancún also has a baseball stadium, home of Quintana Roo Tigers since 2007, and it’s just next to Andres Quintana Roo Stadium. So if you are a baseball fan, don't miss the opportunity and watch a game of the Tigers.

Cancun’s Planetarium Ka’yok
If you love science and space, this is a good option for you. Located next to Downtown’s Walmart, it’s the perfect choice to have an educative day and learn a little more about science, technology and the Mayan worldview. It’s super easy to get there; just take a bus (Route 1 or 27) from your hotel and you’ll be there in just a few minutes.

Last but not least, this iconic park is a must if you visit Cancun. Located near Tulum Avenue and close to the entrance of the Hotel Zone, Parque de las Palapas is a place where the local people of Cancun gather to eat all kind of Mexican food and enjoy the shows that take place on weekends.
