10 Sights & Landmarks in Cancun That You Shouldn't Miss

April 25, 2022 Osvaldo Hartline

Sunny Cancun has much more to offer than its party-town reputation might suggest. Plenty of gorgeous, drama-free family resorts cater to folks who want to experience the tropical Yucatan climate. There are significant Mayan ruins here, such as El Rey and the Yamil Lu’um, a crumbling tower of pale gray stone. Learn more about this ancient civilization at the Museo Maya de Cancun. For a literal taste of Mexico, take a tour of the Museo Sensorial del Tequila.

Perfect place to see Cancun from above. Wish it was higher though, but it delivers what's promised. You can either buy tickets at the entrance, or use your free trial of the tower once you've got Xcaret tickets. Usually, queues aren't too bad and, as the elevator ascends, a guided tour audio commences depicting all aspects of the city of Cancun. It a really great one, and a tour to the tour is highly recommended. The whole tour takes around 25/30 minutes, and the air con is just perfect.

Tulum Avenue

Reviewed By cancuncastaway

This is a major road that cuts through the center of Cancun. You can find just about anything you are looking for on this Avenue. The ADO bus station, pretty much every available bank in Mexico, money exchanges, local bus stops, restaurants, shopping malls, bars and clubs can all be found on this strip of Cancun. Av. Tulum between Calles Coba and Chichen Itza is pretty much the heart. It is flanked by "Las Palapas" on the West and "Palacio Municipal" and Av. Nader on the East. I like to think of this area as the true "Cancun Centro".
