This market has practically everything that you could need. It's broken up into.

You won't find too many different clothing options here. The restaurant section probably has about twenty five small mom-and-pop restaurants, with each one specializing in different Mexican dishes. Walking past these small restaurants definitely gave me the urge to eat something. There are also a few candy vendors, which is where I found the mazapan treat, as well as, a couple of small coconut treats. They were delicious and jist what I needed. The market is about four blocks away from Alameda and metro Hidalgo.

Few to none are English speaking but it is easy to negotiate and purchase. We bought several objects and a piece of art. Some are true antiques, vintage, and collectibles. Some are replicas and housewares type items. Very good market and worth going to spend a Sunday morning couple to few hours.

The market is filled with tons of stalls offering everything from pottery, clothes, jerseys, shoes, jewelry, kitchenware, and home decor. You can spend a good amount of time walking through the aisles since there's so much variety. It's a good place to find gifts at different price points, though you may notice similar items across multiple vendors.

I visited the Mercado de Artesanías la Ciudadela with mom a week or so ago when we were exploring…read morethe area after a visit to the Museo de Arte Popular. I had heard from my Spanish tutor that it was a great market for shopping for souvenirs so we popped in as we were walking by. We stopped by later in day (around 6pm), so some of the stands had already shut down for the day, but I could see how extensive and amazing it would be midday (maybe even a little overwhelming for people who don't love crowded spaces or who get decision paralysis when there's too many choices and things to look at). Now having visited, I agree with my Spanish tutor - it's a great market for shopping for souvenirs (jewelry, glassware, silver, etc.). It's really large and really fun to explore. Well worth exploring if you're in the area.
