Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village Audio Guide

Tlaquepaque is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., although individual shop hours may vary. It is located at 336 State Route 179, Sedona; you can get there by car via SR-179, and free parking is available. More details on the official website.

Admission to Tlaquepaque is completely free; you only pay for purchases in the galleries or restaurants. It is a perfect place to explore without any upfront cost. Check special offers at tlaq.com.

One to two hours is recommended to explore the galleries, gardens, and shops, but you can stay longer if you shop or eat there. If you take your time, three hours is ideal to enjoy it fully.

Built in the 1970s by Abraham Silverman, it was inspired by the Tlaquepaque artisan market in Guadalajara, Mexico, and celebrates Spanish Colonial architecture with more than 50 art galleries. It represents a cultural bridge between Mexico and the American Southwest, attracting art lovers.

Spring (March to May) or fall (September to November) are ideal thanks to Sedona’s mild weather; avoid summer because of the heat. Go early in the morning for fewer crowds and better light for photos.

There are accessible main paved paths, but some gardens and cobblestone walkways may be challenging for wheelchairs. Contact (928) 282-4838 for assistance or updated information at tlaq.com.

Nearby are red rock formations such as Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte, just minutes away by car, as well as the Sedona Trolley Tour. Also visit the Sedona tourism website for more options.

Wear comfortable shoes for the cobblestone paths, reserve a table at restaurants like René at Tlaquepaque if you plan to eat, and download a map from the official website. Pair it with a drive along SR-179 for spectacular views.
