Culture and tradition in the alleys
Guanajuato is a city that is best enjoyed on foot, and there is no better way to do so than through its famous street processions. This nighttime experience takes you through the most emblematic corners of the city, such as the Callejon del Beso, while a student narrator tells local legends accompanied by traditional music and good humor.
During the day, a visit to the Teatro Juárez is mandatory; its neoclassical architecture is one of the most beautiful in Mexico and the entrance fee is very affordable for students. To get the best panoramic photos, you can climb to the Pípila viewpoint via the funicular, especially during sunset when the city lights begin to light up.
