Ciudad Juarez - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?

Yes, all manner of things are available at the market in downtown Juarez. Also, Mexico City has even more and is a relatively quick direct flight away. - Jan 2026


Not a lot, there are a few souvenir shops, but you will really need to go further afield for handicrafts and artwork. - Jul 2024


Probably not. - Feb 2023


Nothing special for Juarez. - Mar 2022


Not really a shopping post, unless you need access to American stores. There is some pottery, bright fabrics, leather goods if you want them, but I’ve seen similar stuff throughout Mexico. - Jun 2019


Mata Ortiz pottery, other ceramics and Mexican handicrafts. - Feb 2019


Target in the US is a short drive away. Most handicrafts are brought in from other parts of Mexico. It's generally better to buy these things when you're travelling. - Jan 2019
