No signs...expect probably the cars lining the road. Don't be afraid to hop the fence. Not a demanding hike, but can get a little steep when getting on top of the mesa.

Neighborhoods
Historic. You can kind of imagine what it was like when it was a bustling capital. Walk around the narrow streets and you will be amazed at how many little shops, cafes, and restaurants are hiding.

여행 팁
교통편
Pretty much have to have a vehicle or use Uber.
You need a vehicle. No real options, unless you want to ride a bicycle.
관습과 문화
Relax in the "land of enchantment"
In general the pace of life is slower. This is also known as the land of "tomorrow"...as in, "I'll get to it tomorrow".
경비 절약 방법
Eat Mexican food.
In general, if you are eating out, the Mexican food provides the most bang for your buck. There are places in town with bean burritos for just a couple bucks and you get free chips and salsa.
준비물
Pack layers of clothing.
It is not uncommon to have a 40 degree change in temperature from day to night.
