Centro & Ciudad Vieja

$

Historic heart of the city around Plaza Independencia and the Old Town. Busy during the day with offices, shops, markets and several coworking spaces. Great for culture and architecture, but some streets feel quieter and less polished at night.

💡

💡 Choosing Your Neighborhood

🌙

Match your schedule. Quiet areas for early risers, lively ones for night owls who work late and thrive in evening energy.

💻

Check coworking proximity. Walking distance to cafes and spaces matters a lot after a few weeks of settling in.

🏠

Try before committing. Book 1-2 weeks first before longer stays. Every neighborhood feels different at night.

💬

Ask the community. Join local nomad groups for recent tips—neighborhoods change faster than any guide.
