Market 28

This popular flea market is located in downtown Cancun. It's actually called Mercado 28, but don't worry, bus and taxi drivers will understand you if you call it Market 28. It is large and maze-like, filled with vendors trying to get you to enter their stores. It can be a bit overwhelming if you aren't used to such aggressive salespeople, but there are some bargains and unique Mexican handicrafts, silver jewelry, t-shirts, pottery and traditional Mexican clothing to be found. In the center of the market, there is a "food court" with many restaurants that serve authentic Mexican food and seafood at economical prices.
