Guanajuato, a city like an upturned jewel box

🇲🇽 Guanajuato Basic Information Location: A mountain city located in central Mexico at an altitude of about 2,000m State capital: Capital of Guanajuato State Population: Approximately 170,000 Climate: Dry and comfortable throughout the year, warm during the day and cold in the mornings and evenings (especially cold from November to February) World Heritage Site: Guanajuato Historic Center and Silver Mine are registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites (1988) Characteristics: Beautiful townscape that retains strong traces of the colonial era and a history that once flourished as one of the world's largest silver mining cities --- 🌈 Places to see & Recommended Points 1. El Pípila A popular observation deck with a panoramic view of the entire city. The colorful houses look like something out of a picture book! 2. The colorful old town and its maze-like alleys Narrow, winding streets, cobblestones, tunnels, suddenly appearing squares and murals... just walking around feels like an adventure. 3. Callejón del Beso (Kissing Alley) A romantic alley with balconies on both sides. A popular photo spot for lovers. 4. Mummies Museum (Museo de las Momias) A unique museum that displays natural mummies. A bit scary, but a Guanajuato specialty. 5. University of Guanajuato and Theater (Teatro Juárez) A representative example of beautiful architecture. It's also great to sit and relax on the steps in front of the theater. 6. Alóndiga de Granaditas A historical building that was the stage for the War of Independence. The exhibits are also substantial. --- 🚍 Access information ✈️ From Mexico City (CDMX) Bus Duration: about 5-6 hours Fee: 500-800 pesos Departure/Arrival: Terminal Norte → Guanajuato Bus Terminal (about 15 minutes by taxi to the city) Plane + Land Mexico City → Leon (BJX) about 1 hour About 30-40 minutes from the airport to Guanajuato city by taxi or Uber 🚍 From Guadalajara Bus Duration: about 4-5 hours Fee: 400-700 pesos Departure/Arrival: Nueva Central Camionera → Guanajuato Bus Terminal Car (rental car) Duration: about 3.5-4 hours Use the highway, a comfortable drive with beautiful scenery --- ✨ A word Guanajuato is a "town that is fun to walk in"!
