Templo Expiatorio del Santisimo Sacramento

Reviewed By mpn7330 - Portland, United States

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.

Instituto Cultural Cabanas

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.

Teatro Degollado

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.

Calle Independencia

A popular shopping strip in Tlaquepaque, a tiny suburb on the outskirts of Guadalajara.

Reviewed By Sally_EP

Great place to enjoy Mexican food and shopping. Calle Independencia in the artists' neighborhood of Tlaquepaque is closed to vehicles and serves as an outdoor pedestrian mall. There are numerous craft shops, restaurants, and fine art galleries. Lovely Mexican handicrafts and food. There are also street performers. Nice place for visitors to stroll and appreciate this lovely Guadalajara neighborhood. The area is also known for mariachis and Day of the Dead festivities. I did my Christmas shopping!

Plaza de la Liberacion

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.

Basilica de Zapopan

This beautifully ornate church, built in 1690, is one of the city's oldest structures.

Reviewed By GoofyGiddyGroovin - San Francisco, United States

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.
