Vibrant City Life in Guanajuato

The city of Guanajuato is the cultural capital of the Bajio region in Central Mexico. The many historic buildings, museums and preservation of culture have resulted in the city center being declared a World Heritage Site. There are few places in Mexico where you can see such fine examples of architecture that dates back to the Spanish colonial era. As you explore the city sights, you can learn about the legends and historical events that have become an intrinsic part of the city's culture. Guanajuato travel is exciting, and you'd do well to read up on the many attractions in the guide book beforehand to ensure that you don't miss out on experiencing the city to its fullest.

Guanajuato is a Year-Round Destination

Weather-wise Guanajuato has three main climates varying from temperate to semi-arid and semi-dry. The days are hot with temperatures seldom dropping below 17 degrees C (62 degrees F). This makes the destination ideal not only for experiencing the cultural sites but also for exploring its surroundings.

Explore the Culture of Guanajuato

The city has an intricate network of paths and underground tunnels which connect throughout the city. Callejon del Beso is home to one of the city's most famous legends. Known as the alley of the kiss, the legend tells of two young lovers who were forbidden to be together; they would meet under darkness in the small alley to steal a kiss. A walk through the city center will take you to view the beautiful architecture of the Basilica Señora de Guanajuato, the Alhondiga de Granaditas, the Templo de San Diego, and the Monumento al Pipila.
