Don't overlook Mercado de Dulces y Artesanias — it reflects what the people of Morelia actually buy, make, and value.
Morelia's historic center is compact and mostly flat, making it very comfortable to walk. The pink stone buildings glow beautifully in golden hour light, so plan evening walks along the aqueduct.
