Mezcal distilleries you can visit by the dozen within an hour of the main square, a Day of the Dead celebration considered the country's most elaborate, and a food scene built on seven different mole sauces that locals will argue about for hours.

The best time to visit Oaxaca is Oct–Feb, when typical daytime highs reach about 28°C (82°F).
