Walking Tour Guanajuato Mexico, Guanajuato, Mexico

Yup, it’s got hills. But the centro of Guanajuato, Mexico, is perfect for a walking tour, and we created one to see all the sites we’d researched. With bright house colors popping off the mountain, most of the traffic underground, and the perfect temperature for an urban amble, we set off on a wonderful adventure through this gorgeous colonial town of students, history, and culture. We even found not one, but two!, delicious vegan places for some great chow.

Start your walk at the Teatro Juárez, Plazuela de Cata No. 1, Guanajuato. This gorgeous Mexican Neoclassical building, constructed in 1872, soars from the street. Sculpted lions adorn the entrance and 8 muses float above the roofline. Currently the teatro is used for music, theater and dance performances.

After checking out the cool trees and plaza across from Teatro Juarez at the Jardin de la Union (make sure to come back in the evening for all the street performances and food carts!), head toward the Callejon de Besos. This cute little alley, just shoulder-width wide, is Guanajuato’s most romantic spot. See how many kisses you can sneak as you climb the short, but steep staircase. Maybe you’ll lock your love with the other padlocks on the gate! ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
