• Manzanillo city
Does not offer a lot of sightseeing diversity. However, the city´s zócalo is of interest. Located directly across from the waterfront, see its Victorian-era bandstand, benches, street lights, and two busts of Father Hidalgo and Benito Juárez. The square becomes quite lively in the evenings. Beyond the zócalo, the downtown area is beginning attract more visitors, thanks to efforts by the local govenment to restore and renovate the area. The recently remodeled malecón (seaside walkway) provides visitors a relaxed, peaceful setting for morning or afternoon walks.
• Archeology museum
A new attraction is the city´s Museum of Archaeology and History. The facility displays the region´s history, plus a changing exposition of important Mexican painters.
