Maracaibo is where to go to EAT.

In the past Zulia state (where Maracaibo is the capital), was the place where all the foreigners working with the oil went, because there is where are the biggest concentration of oil in Venezuela, that made a lot of different cultures came and established themselves contributing with their customs, flavors and traditions, so here you won't only find a LOT of Venezuelan traditional food (only from this region), but also a lot of international restaurants with amazing tastes.

Don't be afraid of eating on the streets, with a lot of sauces or fritters because thats their main style but you could also find spectacular lebanese, german or texan food just to give you an idea.

Also you could go to the theater, or visit the viewpoint to the bridge over the lake, one of the landmarks of this city.

From Caracas you could take a flight straight to Maracaibo and be there in 45 minutes.

I have two youtube videos which I strongly recommend to watch if visiting Maracaibo, there are in spanish with english subtitles.
