Once a thriving silver mining town, Guanajuato is now a huge draw for tourists and expats. It’s a gorgeous city located on the steep slope of a ravine, with a name meaning “Place of the Frogs.”
Walking around town, you can admire the colonial architecture and bright houses, pausing to chill in tree-filled plazas or quaint cafes.
It’s a very cultural city, with plenty of museums, theaters, music venues, and festivals. Be sure to join a walking tour with the city’s famous Callejoneadas, a band of musicians and storytellers who lead you through the meandering alleyways on a musical journey like no other.
There are numerous things to do in Guanajuato, including a great food tour, for those of you who want to eat all of the tacos and then some. Plus, Guanajuato’s wine region is pretty fantastic!
