Top 8 Architectural Buildings in Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Peninsula
Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

2. Plaza Grande
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,478 reviews
Also known as Plaza de Armas, this city square contains some of the most historically significant and aesthetically pleasing buildings in Merida.
Reviewed By JimP988 - Los Angeles, United States
In Merida's typical hot weather, it is relaxing to get a shoe shine and watch the crowds. You will have people try to sell you handicrafts, but that could be fun, too. On Sundays, the entire plaza is full of food and drink stalls and vendors of artesanias.
3. Paseo de Montejo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,418 reviews
This wide avenue, modeled after Paris' Champs Elysees, is lined with the mansions of Merida's old aristocracy.
Reviewed By laBostoniana - Boston, United States
Historic Merida has narrow sidewalks and the main street, Calle 60, is not a pleasant walk because busses and trucks practically brush up against you as they dominate the road and you must walk single file. A bit north of historic district Paseo de Montejo has wide sidewalks, interesting old mansions, and actually allows for pleasant ambling.

Reviewed By TravelingLily2014 - Niskayuna, United States
In reading some of the prior reviews, I am saddened but not surprised. We from the USA seem to want things presented to us easily and automatically. Mexico is different! Yes, there is a long, single-lane road to drive into these ruins. No, you are not allowed to climb on the pyramid, however, that is clearly posted upon entrance to the site. We absolutely LOVED this site. The city was one of the largest in ancient Mexico...perhaps over 60,000 people lived here! We felt so fortunate to be able to visit and enjoy the beautiful remains of a great civilization. So much more can be discovered and I hope some day it will be. We received great advice from the gentlemen who worked at the site. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip.
