Built in 1683, this pastel pink church is the city's most recognizable landmark.

The centerpiece and focal point and one of the best things to do in San Miguel Allende is the unmissable church. La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel or the Church of St. Michael the Archangel is as impressive as it is massive. This is arguably the most photogenic spot in the city inside and out. Enjoy the view from the well-manicured garden in the plaza directly in front of the church that looks almost like an ornate pinkish orange cake! On Sundays, the plaza out front is filled with families and their children enjoying the park. The Luna Rooftop Tapas Bar in the Rosewood Hotel is a great place to have a cocktail enjoying both the sunset and this amazing church

The Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon dominate the ruins of what was once the sixth largest city in the world.
Reviewed By suesW5671GT - Kingston, Canada
Pros- incredible pyramids that you are still able to climb and get amazing views ! Cons- loads of people especially if you arrive after lunch Tips- arrive before 10 am; climb Sun Pyramid first ( to avoid the massive crowds and heat); then climb Moon Pyramid; bring water and sunscreen and a hat; you will spend about 4-6 hours if you have lunch at a local restaurant; no need for a guide if you have access to internet; check out sightdoing.net - How to visit Teotihuacan without a tour by Becky. Great website with step by step instructions including photos.

Well deserved UNESCO world heritage site!. Built in the 16th century, Morelia is an outstanding example of urban planning which combines the ideas of the Spanish Renaissance with the Mesoamerican experience.

8. Museo Casa Diego Rivera
Overall Ratings

The birthplace of Mexico's most famous painter has been preserved as a museum featuring some of his original works and a collection of artifacts from his house.
Reviewed By SeveBellisteros - Kansas City, United States
I am a big fan of Diego Rivera so I very much enjoyed his home. It is beautifully restored and has several of his early works, which are not in the style for which he is famous. I would read about him in advance of going as the signage. /story telling is minimal.
9. Jardin de la Union

This is a beautiful public square just to sit and watch people and listen to the Mariachi bands. Really enjoyable.
10. Mina El Eden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,619 reviews
This closed mine, extremely prosperous in colonial times, offers tours of the old mining facilities and an underground nightclub.
Reviewed By mikesmythus - Oxford, United States
Put on your yellow hardhat, board the train and disappear into the history that made Zacatetas what it is today.Mina El Eden produced more silver than almost any other mine in Mexico. Inside the mine you'll wonder how people could work under such conditions from 1586 until the 1960s. Of course, many of them were enslaved by the Spanards for hundreds of years. Even with a concrete trail and lots of lighting, one feels the claustrophia of mining. You'll get a small understanding of what was it like for a slave miner to hang from a small seat on a crack in the earth hammering out a chunk of silver-bearing rock. You'll also understand why so many children died while collecting and carrying water throughout the mine. The start of the tour takes you through a wonderful mineral museum that will amaze you with the beauty and creativity of this old rock on which we live.
