There are a lot of different parts of the city that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll need to consider before you decide on your final spot. Some areas are more popular with tourists and others that seem more local. Where you choose will depend on your budget, travel style, and what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking for. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the two most popular areas in Playa del Carmen:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Avenida Juarez and El Zocalo (Downtown) &#8211; <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an area that runs between Avenida Juarez and El Zocalo, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s where most of the touristy action is in Playa del Carmen. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll find most of the hotels, bars, shops, and restaurants in this area. Most of it is pedestrian-only. <\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Playacar &#8211; <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the more well-known spots to find luxury homes and resorts is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">along <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/playadelcarmen-real-estate\/b-property-detail-playadelcarmen.php?propId=3914&amp;art=blmls3914_280519&amp;web=blog\">Playacar<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no wrong choice, but consider what it is you like to do when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re traveling. Do you like to be close to all of the action, or would you rather kick your feet up and relax? If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in the former category of tourist look for your vacation home downtown along one of the popular streets. Otherwise, head to the beachy region by Playacar. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll find homes of all shapes and sizes, from single family homes to condos near the beach.

Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forget to climb the pyramid while you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re there. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no better way to spend the day in Playa del Carmen than to enjoy a night out downtown.
