Mérida Nightlife

Something different every night

Mérida comes alive at twilight as local people shake off the fierce afternoon heat. Open-air cafes and bars begin to fill up and there’s live entertainment somewhere in the city every night whether it’s a classical music or jazz concert, a romantic guitar serenade or a dance extravaganza. So after you have had dinner, take a stroll through the streets and squares and soak up the atmosphere.
