CANCÚN. / THE LOCAL EDITDowntown Cancún at your own pace.

Where to begin
Choose a neighborhood or an area around a meal rather than trying to visit everything. Local markets, restaurants and shops each have their own rhythms.

Plan your return
Think about transport, especially in the evening. Familiarize yourself with the area and use reliable services.
