Bus
From the Cancun Hotel Zone, look for the local bus marked 'Ruta 1' or 'Ruta 2'. These buses run frequently and will take you towards downtown Cancun. Board the bus and pay the fare (usually around 12 pesos). After approximately 30 minutes, disembark at the 'Mercado 28' stop, which is a well-known market in Cancun. From there, walk about 10 minutes towards the east along Avenida Tulum until you reach the intersection with Calle 5. Turn left onto Calle 5, and after a short walk, you will arrive at Mercado Municipal.
-
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from your location in Cancun. Simply tell the driver 'Mercado Municipal' and they will take you directly to the market. The ride should take around 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. Make sure to agree on a fare before starting your journey, as taxis in Cancun do not have meters.

Bicycle
If you are feeling adventurous, consider renting a bicycle. Many hotels in Cancun offer bike rentals. Start from your hotel and head towards Avenida Tulum. Once on Avenida Tulum, ride straight until you reach the intersection with Calle 5, then turn left. Continue riding, and you will find Mercado Municipal ahead. This route is approximately 5 km and should take about 20-30 minutes depending on your cycling speed.
