  1. A

    Parque Zoológico Benito Juárez

    The zoo is 3km south of the Plaza de Armas and surprisingly pleasant, with most critters in decent habitats. Animals include sea lions, giraffes, elephants, lots of birds and reptiles. Gravel paths make it hard for strollers, but kids will love the small train and playground.

  2. B

    Palacio de Gobierno

    The 17th-century palace, originally a seminary and now state government offices, has a simple baroque facade and impressive historical murals inside. They were commissioned in 1961, painted by Alfredo Zalce and are worth a peek.
