Often thought of as the beating heart of a city, town squares are usually thronging with life and colorful characters. See what's going on at Zocalo and learn about its long history.
You'll be spoiled for sightseeing choice when visiting Old Town Veracruz. Zocalo is an ideal place to begin here, but there are many other worthy sights to consider. Veracruz Cathedral, Veracruz Aquarium, and Plaza Las Americas Shopping Mall are not far from the public square and will fill in your day nicely.
