Taxco transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Santa Prisca Church and Teleferico to Monte Taxco take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Grutas de Cacahuamilpa for the kind of night that only locals know about.
Taxco is Mexico's silver capital, a dramatic hillside town where whitewashed buildings and red-tiled roofs cascade down steep slopes, with silver workshops, a stunning Baroque church, and some of the most dramatic walking terrain in the country.

Taxco is primarily visited for silver crafts and colonial architecture, but the city takes on a different character at night. Areas near Santa Prisca Church and Teleferico to Monte Taxco come alive after sunset, offering an experience you can't get during the day. Look for Grutas de Cacahuamilpa — the kind of place that daytime visitors never know existed.
Taxco is extremely steep — almost every walk involves significant uphill or downhill sections on narrow cobblestoned streets. Wear shoes with excellent grip and take your time on the descents.
October through May offers dry weather and comfortable temperatures, with November's Feria de la Plata (Silver Fair) being the town's biggest cultural event.
