Campeche holidays draw a growing number of visitors interested in discovering a historical fairyland that stands in stark contrast with Cancun and the Maya Rivera on the opposite side of the Peninsula. Encircled with 17th- and 18th-century fortifications and walls, the historic old town itself is enough reason to visit. It is the starting point of many Campeche tours, inviting visitors to marvel at its narrow cobbled streets lined by restored pastel mansions built by wealthy Spanish families, which earned the city a place on the list of World Heritage Sites. As you leave the inner walls, you will get to see the locals going about their daily business at bustling markets and old fishing docks. Campeche also serves as a perfect base for day trips to neighboring archaeological sites and peaceful Pacific beaches.
