Acapulco Attractions & Museums

So numerous are the various attractions that they cannot all be listed but here is a sampling of some of the most popular ones:

Bustling downtown includes a main square, called zocalo, and on it border one find the Nuestra Senora de la Soledad Church of a more russian architecture. Nearby is the newly reconstructed municipal market. Take a look at the 60ft long streetside mural of tiles seashells and stones located on the Casa Dolores Olmedo.

San Diego Fort
This fortification in a pentagonal shape includes bastions in its corners. A fortification which was rebuilt in the 18th century awaits the curious tourist, who can walk on its old walls which were used for defence against the attacks of the pirates who coveted the richness that the galleons of Manila transported.

History Museum
Located in the San Diego Fort, you can admire the old maps of the port, religious objects and cloths that came over on the Nao de China (the ship from China) that are on display. This museum shows the importance of the port of Acapulco for international trade.

Magico Mundo Marino
This new aquarium, accessible by a rope bridge, exhibits indoor and outdoor aquariums.

La Quebrada Cliff Divers
No visit to Acapulco is complete without watching the cliff divers perform their impressive jumps into the shallow stream of water of dangerous tides that forms in the bottom part of La Quebrada.

Puerto Marquez
Located at a smaller bay just east of Acapulco, Puerto Marquez sees much less tourists than Acapulco. One side of the bay is completely covered by adjacent beach-side restaurants offering very reasonably priced food and beer.
