Good to know before you go
Use Mexican pesos for the best value, even though dollars circulate in tourist zones. The compact old town is walkable, cheap and frequent buses connect the beaches and hotel zone, and Uber plus taxis are easy, so you rarely need a car and downtown parking is tight anyway. Drink bottled water and carry small bills for taxis and tips.
