“Also, Oaxaca is a safe city. I felt comfortable walking around in the day and night, taking in the many interesting boutiques, talleres (workshops of artisans), restaurants. The only concern that I have about Oaxaca is that many of the sidewalks have uneven payment due to tree roots, etc. Hence, I recommend being attentive while walking to avoid falls.”
