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.

Steven’s show was incredibly entertaining. He sings and has a great voice, he tells stories which makes you really like him personally, he’s a great dancer, and of course, amazing pole dancer. I was very inspired by his confidence and talent.

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

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. Instituto Cultural Cabanas
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,511 reviews
Once an orphanage, this building now serves as a gallery of the famous murals of Jose Clemente Orozco.
Reviewed By Beachmom206 - Ajijic, Mexico
Every time we visit Guadalajara, which is often because we live at Lake Chapala, we are never disappointed - the Orozco murals alone are worth the visit! There are always a number of different art exhibits going on, as the Cabanas is a large space with many side rooms and little patios, so exploring is always interesting.
8. 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.
9. Playa Las Animas

If you are looking for isolation, try this beach to the south of Puerto Vallarta, only accessible by boat.
Reviewed By expat326 - San Francisco, United States
Busy beach at spring break. Like other travelers, a short water taxi ride or you can make solo arrangements with one of the boat operators at Boca de Tomitlan. We stopped first at Colomitos but it was really crowded. Next time I would opt for one of the other small beaches nearby, I think Madagascar. Not much shade but enjoyed our swim at Colomitos. Our boat operator returned for us and took us to Las Animas. We really enjoyed our lunch at El Caracol restaurant. There are many places to choose from, but our waiters were really friendly and took good care of us. Compared to Mismaloya or Boca, the food here tasted super fresh, was served hot, nicely seasoned rice and beans and salad as accompaniments to our fish and shrimp dishes. Also the pollo a la plancha was very good and not over-cooked. We were going fishing the next day and hoped to come back and have our fresh catch cooked for as as we saw at one table. But our catch the following day was too small.
10. Lake Chapala

Many Americans and other foreigners help make up the 20,000 people living near this picturesque lake, the country's largest inland body of water.
Reviewed By RealDS - London, United Kingdom
Prior to coming here, we didn’t know what exactly to expect. In an Uber it is jut shy of an hour from Guadalajara and it’s the closest you’ll get to a beach experience of staying in Guadalajara. I must say this is one of the most beautiful lake experiences I’ve had. There were a few Mariachi bands playing both by the lake and in a local beer garden. To add, there were some nice landmark features of which you can see in my picture illustrations. Everything in this area was inexpensive. To add there were various market stools along the beach area. The highlight of our visit here was our boat ride in the lake. It was the most perfect way to cool down at sun rise.
