Where to stay in Durango
Durango is a compact town, so staying central puts you within easy walking distance of El Mercado and the old quarter. Durango town centre is your best bet, with a handful of comfortable hotels and easy access to everything on foot.
If you prefer something with a bit more character, Casco Histórico sits right in the heart of the old town and keeps you close to the market action. Either way, you won't need a car to get around.
