About Mercado 28

Clothing, drinks, crafts and souvenirs compete for your attention in the aisles of Mercado 28. It stands on Avenida Xel-Há, downtown, and has restaurants. Take a break for lunch; shopping the whole market on an empty stomach is hard on your luggage.

Compare materials, origin and prices before choosing. Not every piece is locally made, so it's worth asking rather than judging by the design. Confirm the address when arranging transport and wander without feeling obliged to carry bags.
