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.
2. Rancho Lopez

Reviewed By GoGlo1406 - Hood River, United States
In the El Eden area, this restaurant features an ample tray of shrimp, fish, steak or combos in an open air location overlooking a river with smooth boulders that invite the customer to take a dip after lunch. I wrote a review about El Eden and did not realize that Rancho Lopez was the actual restaurant we ate at. There are people zip lining in the trees that you can watch as you dine. I love this place! Would go back in a heartbeat.

We stayed at the Mayan Hotel in the marina which is on the Pacific Ocean beach. After a very short walk to the Marina, you will be very impressed with all of the gorgeous sail boats and yachts, as well as the restaurants and shops. The restaurants range from some at very low prices to other white tablecloth establishments with fine dining menus. Easy to spend a few hours in this area every day.
5. Malecon de Chapala
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 418 reviews
Reviewed By bezerk - San Antonio Tlayacapan, Mexico
A pleasantly clean malecon where tourists and locals spend lots of time especialy on weekends. Shop in the many stalls for clothing, trinkets, souvenirs, eats, the infamous charales. Known as the fishing are, beautiful fishermen statues, a nice pier and even hire a boat driver to take you out to Scorpion island or any of the islands on the lake, plus see a different perspective of al the villages dotting the shore of Lake Chapala. A Tapatios ( Guadalajarians) delight for summer vacations or weekend visits, many with summer homes, Chapala is beautiful.

Cozy restaurants and bars line the street in "romantic zone."
Reviewed By TerriMac13 - Prince George, Canada
My partner and I have been to PV several times, and the Romantic Zone is our favorite part of town: beautiful architecture, lots of great shops and restaurants, and authentic Mexican charm away from the touristy areas. If you want to see the real PV, visit the Romantic Zone!
7. Teatro Degollado
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,460 reviews
Opened in 1886, this large neo-Classical building is home to the city's opera and orchestra.
Reviewed By devola1 - Chicago, United States
I’m staying near the Teatro Degollado and I walked past it a few times. This morning was quiet and cool and I stopped at the small cafe for breakfast. The server was very nice and polite, considering my terribly limited Spanish. The food was delicious. I recommend the chilaquiles rojo with an iced coffee. Sitting beside the old and beautiful architecture, feeling the breeze, watching couples and families and performers film and take pictures (it’s a very photogenic plaza and a lot of ppl were taking advantage of that) was a great way to start my day.

This 18th-century government building, which served as the headquarters of the Juarez administration in 1858, contains a number of the famous murals by Jose Clemente Orozco.
Reviewed By LAJFJ2 - Los Angeles, United States
When we were being taken on a tour of the city, we stopped in this building to see some murals. While going up a staircase a mural will meet you face to face. Was very powerful and moving. I recommend that you hire a local tour guide to introduce you to the beautiful murals of this city.
10. Plaza de la Liberacion
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 278 reviews
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.
