The historic city center keeps plazas, shops, and hotels within walking distance of one another, while newer neighborhoods further out are quieter and better suited to longer stays with a car. Central lodging suits most short visits.
The city's colonial-era plazas and museums are pleasant to explore year-round, though the desert heat of summer makes early morning or evening visits more comfortable. Surrounding canyon country makes for a popular longer day trip from the city.
Buses cover much of the city, and taxis or ride-hailing apps are widely available for more direct trips. A car is useful for exploring the surrounding desert and canyon landscapes beyond the city itself.
Spring and autumn bring milder temperatures well suited to sightseeing, while summer heat can be intense given the desert setting, and winters turn notably cold for a Mexican city given the region's elevation.
