The municipality of Taxco de Alarcon stands proudly in the state of Guerrero, boasting white buildings, red roofs, and old-town Mexican charm. Surrounded by cliffs and mountains, the belfries of Santa Prisca de Taxco tower over the town’s colonial-era homes and establishments. Aside from being the city’s administrative center, Taxco is the silver capital of the world. Starting as a mining city in a steep valley in northern Guerrero, its silver industry began in the16th and thrives until today. Taxco’s silversmiths practice an ancient craft, and you can see its intricate products in Museo de la Plateria. Tourism is the backbone of the economy today, and the city has taken a preservation stance that suspends its streets in the colonial era. Discover adventures both hidden and popular in the city’s narrow streets and, while here, stay in the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Taxco, Mexico.
