17 handpicked hostels in Veracruz, sorted by traveler rating.
Veracruz is a humid Gulf Coast port city built around the Zocalo, where marimba bands and danzon dancers fill the square most evenings. Backpackers use it as a base for the Malecon harbor front, the beaches at Boca del Rio, and buses running along the Gulf coast. Budget stays cluster in the Centro Historico and along the waterfront, a short walk from the cathedral and the working port.
