Places to visit in Tijuana Mexico
Zona Centro
Downtown Tijuana is referred to as the Zona Centro and it is the primary focus for visitors. It includes Revolucion Avenue, previously called Avenida Olvera, which is the main tourist drag. The place gained prominence since the Prohibition Era when the US Government applied several sanctions on alcoholic beverages. The US locals particularly from California used to cross the border to get beverages legally here in Tijuana. Towards the west crossing a block of Revolucion Avenue, there is one more key tourist area, called Constitucion Avenue. The place gives you the authentic vibe and scene of Tijuana. However, avoid going down further to Juarez (Segunda) as it leads you into the “red light” district.
Playas de Tijuana (Bullfights)
Playas de Tijuana, adjacent to the US border (5-minute drive) is a seaside bullring. Most of the bullfight events are organized on Sundays. Some areas of the historic bullring have been damaged due to the apathy of the caretaker caused due to business loss.
