Guadalajara, Jalisco’s capital, is a city that charms visitors with a mix of tradition and modernity; it offers a rich cultural, architectonic, and gastronomical experience.
Downtown Guadalajara
Downtown Guadalajara is the vibrant center of the city, where the rich history of the state comes alive on every corner. Here the majestic Guadalajara’s cathedral rises as an architectonic icon, surrounded by four plazas, each one with their own charm and significance. Visitors can visit the Teatro Degollado, a neoclassical jewel, or be amazed by the murals on the government palace. The streets invite travelers to explore centenary churches, colonial buildings, and a wide variety of stores and restaurants.
Mercado Libertad / San Juan de Dios
This market located close to downtown, is one of the largest roofed markets in Latin America and is a feast for your senses. This bustling market is a reflection of local life, where you can find practically everything, from local arts and crafts, clothing, and electronics to an impressive selection of fresh produce, spices, and traditional Jalisco gastronomy. It's an ideal place to try a torta ahogada, explore the different types of chiles, or just go and sightsee the movement of merchants and shoppers, getting the energy and color of the local culture.
Parque Agua Azul
To escape the urban hustle, Parque Agua Azul offers an oasis of tranquility and natural beauty in the heart of the city. This emblematic space is famous for its extensive green areas, perfect for a picnic or a relaxing evening. It hosts an aviary, a space dedicated to the conservation of birds, and a butterfly garden, where you can admire different species in their natural habitat. Along with this, the park has the Popular Art Museum and the lake forum, which usually feature cultural events and concerts.
