Beautiful neo-gothic cathedral. Reputably the best example in Mexico. It’s a pleasant walk from the cathedral Guadalajara. Lovely square in front. Even though it says closed on Saturday, it was open to look in.

Reviewed By pulcino3
A true "agora", where both locals and tourists gather, whether it's gazing at the old architectural treasures of Guadalajara's historic center, or just people watching. There are entertainers, and food vendors around, lots of restaurants, and only a few benches to rest for free (there should be more).

This always busy downtown plaza lies at the heart of the city's historic district.
Reviewed By GoofyGiddyGroovin - San Francisco, United States
My friend and I hired a local, English speaking, guide to walk us around the Centro Historico area. Knowing the history of Guadalajara made this plaza much more interesting than just walking through it. I also enjoyed sitting in a cafe drinking coffee and people watch. I've been to Guadalajara several times and I always enjoy seeing what events, activities and programs they have going on in the plaza.

Zapopan is a small gem in the middle of Guadalajara. It's small and quaint. I wish I had had more time to explore this area. I'm looking forward to going back and eat in one of the many restaurants and look at the shops. I was so taken with this area I'm going to book a hotel here next time I visit Guadalajara.

This large zoo contains over 2,000 animals and is located in a beautiful ravine.
Reviewed By 291genej - Silver Spring, United States
This Friday morning we took a US$4 UBER 11 km northeast from our Hotel NH Collection Guadalajara, arriving at 9:15 AM. After temperature check, hand sanitizer and paying the $8 senior rate for 2, we followed the zoo workers for the 200+ meter entryway to the Flamingo Pool. From here, we began a long shaded descent passing grass/pool/bird enclosures to the end of the valley, then returned on the other side, climbing back up. The 1 square mile property is well maintained, the animals we saw were in good condition in large enclosures, and there were ample clean restrooms spaced nicely throughout. Visitors spread out over many optional activities to suit their physical abilities and/or interests to include the Aquarium, Gondola, Safari Ride, Petting Park, Farm Animals, Picnicking, Shows and more. We enjoyed our 3 hour stroll seeing the active animals as well as the numerous well mannered masked families. This was a peaceful relaxing experience.
