City centre Laredo immerses you in rich border history through Spanish colonial architecture and cultural treasures. San Agustín Plaza and its namesake cathedral anchor the historic district, while museums tell the storey of this unique crossroads city. The area buzzes with bilingual energy as you explore vibrant markets full of Mexican imports and traditional crafts. Authentic Tex-Mex dominates the food scene, from family-run taquerias to upscale border cuisine restaurants. Most city centre attractions sit within easy walking distance of each other on a compact grid layout. Limited public transit means ride-sharing is your best bet for ventures beyond the walkable core.
Eastern Division
Eastern Division in Laredo offers a slice of genuine border-town life without the tourist trappings. Quiet residential streets showcase colourful homes where real folks go about their daily business. You can grab authentic tacos from family-run spots for a few bucks, or wander the area parks to see how locals actually live their lives. Budget-friendly motels and family-run inns make staying here way cheaper than city centre. Getting around requires a car or patience with limited bus service, but the payoff is experiencing the authentic blend of Mexican-American culture that defines this community.
Del Mar
Del Mar offers a genuine slice of Laredo life away from the tourist trail. This residential area gives you a peek into authentic Mexican-American suburban culture with its quiet streets and family-focused vibe. While you won't find major attractions within Del Mar itself, Mall Del Norte and the Imaginarium of South Texas are just a quick drive away. Getting around Del Mar works best with your own wheels since public transit is limited. Local family-run Mexican restaurants serve up delicious, wallet-friendly meals, and holiday rentals in cosy single-family homes provide budget-friendly accommodation options for travellers looking to stretch their dollars.
San Agustín de Laredo Historic District
Step into San Agustín de Laredo Historic District where Spanish colonial charm meets vibrant border culture. The stunning Cathedral of San Agustín anchors this walkable area, while the Republic of the Rio Grande Museum brings local heritage to life in a restored 1840s building. Cobblestone plazas buzz with mariachi music and vendors, creating an authentic cultural experience away from tourist crowds. Family-run taquerias serve up mouthwatering Tex-Mex cuisine throughout the compact district. Most attractions sit within a three-block radius, making exploration on foot ideal despite Texas heat. Historic boutique hotels in converted colonial buildings offer the perfect base for immersing yourself in this slice of living history.

Laredo is growing massively. It's still not at all a walkable city. That train may have left the station. It does have great people and great food.

Great food and shopping. You can cross into Mexico if you'd prefer since border is right there but we choose to stay on the American side.

I lived there for 33 years, city and traffic has grown with unsafe drivers all over.
"This is an older property but it was very well maintained and the staff at the front desk was extremely helpful. CAUTION this hotel does have a smoking section and Cheap Tickets didn’t seem to disclose that very clearly so if you are not a smoking make sure you confirm that your room is non smoking "
"It’s nice that the property has a nicely kept garden section, giving some greenery to look at when going in or out of the room. The price to stay there is pretty good too! Fortunately the hotel has new tv remotes because twice on 2 different occasions, I’ve had to replace the TV remote because it wasn’t working. It wasn’t user error, it was actually mechanical issues with the remote upon closer inspection. It’s weird that it’d happen twice, but I’m thankful to have been able to leave the room in better condition than how it was when I checked in. The staff have always been so professional, kind, and welcoming. In all, it’s a good place to bed down at for a night or weekend from my experiences. "
