Avenida Revolucion: Avenida Revolucion
  • Tip Rating:
  • This avenue is 100% tourist trap, quite sleazy and signifies everything TJ is about both good and bad. its 10-15 blocks of touristt shops, bars and restaurants.

    Avenida Revolucion: Avenida Revolucion
  • Tip Rating:
  • A 10-minute stroll or a five-minute cab ride from the border takes you to Avenida Revolucion, the heart of Tijuana's busy shopping district.

    There you'll find a colorful eight-block strip of stores, stalls, arcades and underground passageways filled with bargains from around the world.

    But nobody can do Avenida Revolucion in a day. Too much of a good thing will cause brain burn as you struggle to experience nearly 1,000 shops and stalls. So, instead of hoofing it up and down the entire street, slow down and spend a productive morning or afternoon on the one block that has it all: Avenida Revolucion between Third and Fourth streets.

    Avenida Revolucion: Revolucion Avenue
  • Tip Rating:
  • Avenida Revolucion or Revolution Avenue is the main street of Tijuana and it's called "La Revo" by locals.

    It's the heart of the city and safe area I could say with a lot of places to eat and shop.

  • The main shopping street in TJ highlights the city's textile industry and is lined with shops, shops, shops. It will be hard for you to miss it.

    Avenida Revolucion: Avenida Revolución
  • Tip Rating:
  • Avenida Revolución is the main tourist avenue of Tijuana and reportedly the world's most shopped street. You will find lots of Taco stalls, shops, restaurants, whatever you want. There was a great perfume store that we were referred to as being ‘the real thing’. I found aftershave in there that had originally been bought at Heathrow Airport and I had been unable to find anywhere on my travels until Tijuana.

    Avenida Revolucion: Famous Tijuana Zebra Donkey
  • Tip Rating:
  • You can pose and have your photo take for a fee of course. We were warned to be careful taking photos too close as the owners get upset that they are loosing business and you're getting free photos.

    Avenida Revolucion: Donkeys (Zonkeys)
    Don't take a pic with them. They are just shoe-polished donkeys. Abuse!! Why would you pay to take a picture with a shoe-polished donkey? Just have a friend take a picture for you by the "Welcome to Mexico" sign.

    Avenida Revolucion: Take a picture with a striped donkey
    I know a lot of people include these in their tourist traps....and they are. But I actually really liked my picture I got. I don't envy the donkey's situation of standing around in the hot sun all day, but my black and white photo in the donkey cart with the cover that says "If you don't like the picture blame the jack as*!" screams Tijuana!

    Avenida Revolucion: Shopping on la Avenida Revolucion
    Unless you enjoy being pestered every 5 feet you walk, STAY AWAY from here!! "Come into my store! Buy something! Half-price for you. Make me lucky." ANNOYING. If left alone to browse in their store you probably would find something you actually want to purchase. But even then they are going to start with a ridiculously high price and if you want a better price be prepared to haggle with them for 20 minutes. And good luck trying to leave without buying something.

    My wife & I took a bus tour here from San Diego and we couldn't wait to get out of there.

    Find yourself a safe restaurant to hide in until your tour bus leaves and have a few drinks while you wait. Even hiding in a bar or restaurant won't save you from being pestered by guys with guitars looking for your cash.

    I'm glad we went but we will NEVER go back.
