Zacatecas Hostels

Zacatecas is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located a few hours outside of Mexico City. The historic center is the main attraction, with many beautiful old buildings and plazas, as well as a cable car to the nearby church, which offers a fantastic view of the city. There are also some old mine sites which can be visited by tourists, including a mine site that has been converted into a nightclub. The city bus station is located on the outskirts of the city. A local bus or taxi can easily be taken to the historic town. Zacatecas is a great place to get a feel of the "real Mexico," as it is not as touristy as some of the nearby UNESCO cities, however still has plenty of restaurants and attractions. If you want to try some local Mexican cuisine, then you can try gorditas, a round tortilla that's a bit like a type of pita bread, filled with a variety of different fillings and then fried.
