• •Santa Prisca Church — a masterpiece of ultra-Baroque Churrigueresque architecture funded by a silver magnate in 1758, with twin pink-stone towers and twelve gilded retablos inside
• •Zocalo (main plaza) — a compact hillside plaza shaded by Indian laurel trees directly in front of Santa Prisca church, where silver vendors display their wares at sidewalk cafes
• •Silver workshops and shops — hundreds of talleres and shops selling hand-forged silver jewelry and tableware, a tradition dating to 1929 when American William Spratling revived the craft here
• •Teleferico to Monte Taxco — an aerial tramway rising above the terracotta rooftops to the Monte Taxco resort, offering views of the town's dramatic hillside setting and Santa Prisca below
• •Casa Borda Cultural Center — an 18th-century mansion built by silver baron Jose de la Borda, now a cultural center hosting art exhibitions in its colonial courtyard and vaulted rooms

• •Grutas de Cacahuamilpa — one of the largest cave systems in the world, about 30 minutes from Taxco, with massive illuminated chambers
• •Ex-Hacienda del Chorrillo — a colonial-era hacienda converted into an art school, with gardens and views over the valley
