Getting to oaxaca
All wedding weekend festivities will take place in the Historic City Center (Centro Histórico) of Oaxaca.
Below is information about flights, transportation and getting around Oaxaca.
If you have any travel related questions or would like help booking flights or private transportation to/from the airport in advance please don't hesitate to reach out and we can help arrange that for you.
Flights
To get to the Centro Histórico, we recommend flying into Oaxaca Airport (OAX) which is small and easy to navigate.
transportation
Once you land you can either (1) take a taxi or (2) hire private transportation from the OAX airport to Centro Histórico, which takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic.
Note: There is no Uber in Oaxaca.
1. Taking a Taxi
When you land, exit the airport and go to the official taxi counter.
o Tell them your hotel name.
o Pay a fixed rate
o You’ll receive a ticket and your assigned driver.
o Estimated time: 20–25 minutes to Centro. (Note: these transports are shared, so the time to reach your hotel will vary depending on the number of passengers).

getting around oaxaca
Oaxaca is a perfect city for walking short and medium distances. Unless you plan to venture far outside Centro Histórico during the wedding weekend we strongly recommend not renting your own car and just exploring the city by foot.
Parking is limited in the Centro Histórico and it is almost always faster (and more enjoyable) to explore the town via foot or call a taxi to get around (yellow taxis are safe, affordable, and cash only).
Accomodations
Oaxaca has plenty of amazing places to stay all right in the heart of the City Center.
