Cancun International Airport (CUN) Maps: Important City Districts

The Cancun region consists of two main districts, the downtown neighbourhood, which is known as 'Ciudad Cancun', and the main hotel region, generally referred to as the Zona Hotelera. These areas are extremely different, with the main downtown area being rarely visited by tourists. The 'el centro' area of downtown Cancun is well developed and centered around the main artery of the Avenida Tulum, an attractive boulevard lined with shops and restaurants.

Nearby, the Zona Hotelera is often known as the 'Isle Cancun' and is connected to the rest of the region by the Boulevard Kukulcán, which heads in an easterly direction. Many enormous condominium developments can be found in this area, together with large shopping malls, convention centres, clubs and bars.
