Both
bus stations
in Oaxaca are a good way from the centre - at least thirty-minutes' walk. First-class (with guarderAa) is on Calzada NiA±os HA©roes de Chapultepec, north of the centre, from where your best bet is to get a taxi in; if you're absolutely determined to walk, turn left along the main road about four blocks to Av JuA?rez, left again for nine or ten blocks to Independencia or Hidalgo, then right to the zA?calo. Once you reach JuA?rez you can pick up city buses. The second-class terminal - where you'll find a casa de cambio with good rates (daily 9am-7pm) and a guarderAa (6am-9pm) - is west of the centre by the new market buildings: walk past these, across the train tracks and the Periferico, and on up Trujano towards the centre.
From the
airport
, 5km south of the city, a colectivo service (Transportacion Terrestre Aeropuerto) will drop you right by the zA?calo for under US$2. On leaving, you should buy tickets in advance wherever possible - especially for early morning departures on popular routes, to Mexico City or to San CristA?bal. Other useful information
