Attractions

Zacatecas, the capital of the state of the same name, is called “the city with the pink stone face and silver heart.” One of Mexico’s highest cities (8,000 feet), it is squeezed into a narrow gully between two bare hills.Elegant, almost regal, and a true colonial gem, Zacatecas is one of Mexico’s most photogenic cities and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993. Beautifully preserved pink stone buildings adorned with delicate wrought iron balconies line a labyrinth of spotless narrow streets that twist and turn through the city.It’s a long (seven hour) but easy drive from Mexico City, and service is available aboard deluxe buses. Mexicana offers direct flights between Zacatecas and several U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, the U.S. city with the largest Zacate­can community, Chicago and Denver, as well as destinations throughout Mexico.

Nearby

Jerez. A beautifully preserved colonial city founded in 1536, Jerez makes for an interesting side trip. Its horseshoe-shaped Hinojosa Theater, which was built seven years after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, is a replica of Washington, D.C.’s Ford’s Theater.

Shopping

Zacatecas is known for its silver jewelry, many pieces reflecting the designs of the wrought iron that adorns the windows of the colonial buildings, and for its black, red and white serapes. Leatherwork is another regional specialty. Most of these products are available in the shops in the Gonzalez Ortega market.

Nightlife

Zacatecas’ nightlife is livelier than one would expect. One of the highlights is the disco in El Eden mine (open Thursday to Saturday). On special occasions there are nighttime.
