Nice water fall and natural springs inviting for the water. We spent half a day there, went for a little hike, jumped into the natural swimming pools and had a quick bite there. We tried also for the first time coconut with chilly, good memory… If you go for a hike make sure you bring sufficient water and sun protection. The hike goes up and down there is little shade, relatively step and it‘s helpful to wear good shoes.

Petrified waterfalls. Several of them as a matter of fact. Quite bizarre and frankly beautiful. Also some pools people frequently swim in. Not that warm. Lots of space to roam around to get different vantage points. Be careful as it can be a little slick in spots and there are few railings. Some designated trails to walk along, too. Look for the occasional agave plant. All of this nestled in a mountain range.

The vistas presented before you are truly breathtaking and a marvel to behold. Taking the time to appreciate the scenery will create lasting memories for you. Encountering one of the 2 Patricia waterfalls in the world. I highly recommend taking a tour, which offers a convenient and informative way to explore the remarkable sights. Doing so can enhance your overall experience, ensuring you don't miss any of the hidden gems. Ultimately, experiencing these views is an unforgettable experience.

I visited Monte Albán in Oaxaca and overall it was a nice experience, but there are a few things to know before going. The site was very crowded, which made it a little hard to enjoy some areas at my own pace. The water was extremely cold, and I am not sure if it was because so many people were inside, but it was not bubbly like the pictures or the name suggest. You also have to walk a bit to reach the main viewing areas, so be prepared for that. Nevertheless, it is still a beautiful place to visit. The views are stunning, the water has an amazing blue color, and the landscape makes the trip worth it. If you are in Oaxaca, it is still a spot I would recommend—just go with realistic expectations.

It was pretty tough to get to by car but the view was amazing. The water was actually colder than I thought something like 19 degrees. Also hiking around the area was really cool.

It's not as spectacular as Pamukkale in Turkey, but the view is still nice. The hike is a little steep in some sections but easy to go in general.

Such a beautiful place! These natural pools are created by termal water (not hot). There is a nice walk towards the panoramic point and a walk to the actual pools. There you can swim and take pictures! The water is fresh and so good on warm days! The mud is apparently good for your skin too! Very recommended spot to visit! Entrance costs 50 pesos per person. Plenty parking spot

Up and coming best beach in Mexico!! Very geared towards the stereotypical "hippy" person. 420 friendly, vegan and vegetarian options everywhere, gluten-free options available. Able to walk to everything that is necessary. Beach is huge, lots of sand spaceto spread yourself out. Easy to travel by yourself and meet new friends.

Beautiful and peaceful beaches, surfers 🏄‍♂️ paradise 😎

Swimming not possible here. Waves are as big as 5m!

It’s satisfying walking on a long sandy beach with the surf crashing next to you as you carefully place each foot step on the sand. Occasionally feeling the last remnants of a wave cool off your feet. Great beach.

Its a beach hard to give a bad review. It was beautiful waves were huge. It was clean and extremely hot. Keep it simple folks and enjoy it.

A beautiful beach for a sunset stroll. Not great for swimming but great for watching the waves and for surfing. Busy place but also chill at the same time. So many options for restaurants and bars as well.

Perfect for surfers but also to relax and enjoy sunset and night life. Close to other beautiful beaches and local towns. I loved watching the surfers 🏄‍♂️ feel the magic of the waves.

The most beautiful church I have ever been to. It has ancient architecture with many meticulous details. If you come here, you will be overwhelmed by the grandeur of the church. Entrance is free and the church is open almost exclusively in the evening.

I have visited churches and cathedrals all over the world and this one is up there with one of the prettiest. The architecture and detail is nothing short of spectacular. One thing to note is that there will be people in there for prayer time so use manners, remember it is a sacred building, keep quiet and respectful... Highly recommend a visit and to sit for a while and listen to the prayers. It is free entry and we couldn’t find a donation tin but one may be available.

Beautiful cathedral. You might see a wedding and one of the famous calendas here.

Beautiful inside and a great spot outside for people watching, especially on Friday and at the weekends when you are likely to catch the wedding celebrations - good fun to see!

It is not as impressive as some of the churches we saw in Mexico but still a beautiful church to visit. For some reason it is quite dark inside.

It's a beautiful church. The museum of cultures of Oaxaca is housed with the property.

Absolutely stunning! It would be so easy to spend an hour plus here absorbing all the details that make this cathedral extraordinary. The tree on the ceiling of the antechamber is amazing—don’t miss that. Loved all the beautiful chapels with their unique looks—especially the chapel of silence.

Muy lindo el rio y los animales, no es recomendable benir en tempradas de fin de año. It gets really packed, and the lines are very long. Be sure to bring an umbrella or buy one at the gift shop for $150.00 pesos about $8 dollars. Be sure to bring good walking shoes.

I recommend going up and coming down by cable car. The view from the gondola is fantastic. Looking at the queue, it seems like there's a long wait at the valley station. The price per trip is 35 pesos.

Lines took over an hour. And then half hour to rerun at the top. Ride is super short. Idk if it’s worth the wait to be honest. Only if you have extra time to spend

Killer views of such a incredible area. Very kind & helpful staff working the summit. The hike back down was fun, but quite slippery from the mud from recent rain. Took us about an hour to finish the hike. Worth the money

Great views of the city. Highly recommend if visiting Orizaba

If you like heights (or even if you’re a liiiittle scared) and nice views, this is definitely recommended. You get a nice view of Orizaba as you stop and get off at the top of the mountain to explore more things and get a better view. We loved our experience here!

Amazing place to visit, so many things to do and see! I hope to be able to go again! The zip line was wonderful! There is lines but they move quickly and are shaded. A wonderful place to visit, kid friendly, and lots to explore!

All the family loved this place! So cool how close you can get to the animals 😂 so many nice places to take pics. And the restrooms are very clean. Lots of different places to eat. Highly recommend if you are visiting puebla with the kids!!

I was impressed! My first Safari in life! It was amazing to see different animals so close 🐘 Such a beautiful family experience! Highly recommend 🌟 The only problem can be lots of visitors, so 🚗 cars drive very slowly and under the sun 🌞 it can be a tricky time with kids in a car! So I would choose time to enter wisely. Maybe not weekends if you have opportunity! Area with Lions is just Breathtaking! 🧡🦁

A super cool drive thru zoo. After you drive thru all the way, there is a walking experience where u get to see even more animals and insects. Such a cool experience for the kids. The animals looked very healthy and well taken care of. Such a delightful place, will come back!

Amazing, better than expected. The animals seem to be better treated that in most zoos and this haves a nice concept that makes it different than a normal zoo. Loved the Cows with gigantic horns

Such a phenomenal experience! I 10/10 recommend if you’re visiting to make this place a stop!

Go on a Monday, bring your own car and take as much time as you need driving through to see the animals. Staff are accommodating and understanding, not strict about poking your head out of sunroofs.

Beautiful place! We came to visit with the family and we had a great time!

The Zócalo in Puebla is truly the heart of the city and a must-visit destination for anyone exploring this vibrant colonial city. As one of Mexico’s most beautiful and historic plazas, it offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and lively atmosphere. The square is surrounded by stunning colonial architecture, with colorful buildings and ornate facades that reflect Puebla’s rich heritage. The cathedral, with its impressive baroque design, dominates the skyline and adds to the majestic ambiance of the plaza. During the day, the Zócalo buzzes with activity—locals and tourists alike gather to relax, enjoy street performances, or sip coffee at nearby cafes. At night, the area transforms with beautifully lit buildings, creating a romantic and picturesque setting. The surrounding streets are lined with shops, markets, and restaurants offering delicious local cuisine, including Puebla’s famous mole poblano. It’s a great place to soak in the local culture, do some shopping, or simply people-watch. Overall, the Zócalo in Puebla is a vibrant, historic, and charming place that captures the essence of the city. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just soaking up the lively atmosphere, it’s an experience not to be missed.

Puebla es a historic place and have an amazing cultural history. You can find nice place to eat and buy some gifts.

Fantastic decorations for Dia de Los Muertos all over this Zocalo. I had a great time walking around and taking photos of everything. It was super colorful, very beautiful, and so much fun to be had. The architecture is amazing and the sights and people made my heart sing.

3rd largest city in Mexico and absolutely beautiful!!! Add this to your list if you're visiting Mexico City. Make sure to go to the library and thr church in Centro. We took a tour here and it was excellent. Really enjoyed learning about tye history of the city and the architecture.

This place is amazing. I went for Día de los Muertos and it was such an impressive time there. Everything was amazing. Definitely felt safe even with so many crowds. It was awesome seeing the historic architecture and the preservation of the culture. Saw all types of people from Mexico and around the world. Definitely recommend and I will be going back again!

Alot to see and do here ! Food, stores, walking, browsing,tours, museums, people watch, ZumBa, activities.. something always happening. - Can't fly drones here without a permit

Had a wonderful walk around this area and went inside the church. So beautiful.

I’m studying to be an archaeologist and this place blew me away. Created in stages, like the Maya and other mesoamerican cultures, the pyramid was fantastic and the surrounding ruins were beautiful. There is definitely more that can be revealed. The grassy area that you walk around in was really nice.

After visiting the Cathedral on the hill, we opted to walk around the ruins of the Great Pyramid. What history and building technique. They added layers every 52 years and spans centuries. Not much left but still worth walking around.

It's a very big pyramid mostly covered in dirt. It seems the few things that were excavated were not actually part of the pyramid. The tunnels perhaps would be interesting but were closed. Poor signage resulted in us ascending 300+ steps to get to a church, but have no view of the pyramid (nice city and volcano view, however). Seems the church is the bigger spectacle here.

THE TUNNELS ARE CLOSED. YOU CANNOT GO INSIDE THE PYRAMID/TEMPLE AT ALL, SO YOU WILL SEE ALMOST NOTHING. If you are okay with that, you will pay $95 per person (it is more expensive than listed online) to only see a small amount of the top of it (the rest is underground). If it is a sunny day, you can climb one small part of the temple steps, but that's the coolest thing you'll experience here. If it's raining, that will be closed so there will be almost nothing to see. UNTIL THEY OPEN THE TUNNELS AGAIN, IF THEY EVER DO, I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE.

Really cool to learn about the history and see the ruins. There are also great places to buy Souvenirs right by the ruins.

Pyramid of Cholula I was incredibly excited to visit the largest pyramid in the world. Knowing that it’s only a 3.5-hour flight from where I live made it even more exciting. However, I was also very disappointed by the way we were treated. I asked at the museum if it was possible to enter the underground passages of the pyramid, and the man who attended me said he didn’t know what I was talking about and told me to just go into the museum. I asked again if there was access to the tunnels, and he raised his voice, saying he didn’t know what I was talking about and that I should go see the patios instead. His attitude was rude and arrogant, so we decided to leave. The site itself is beautiful, full of history, with stories of the gods, the customs of the ancient peoples of Mexico, and also of the new religion imposed by the Spanish. I would definitely visit Cholula again, but I would keep my distance from the government staff.

The Cholula pyramid and archaeological zone was just ok. We went to Monte Alban a week prior in Oaxaca that was stunning so once we got to Cholula I didn’t feel like it was anything special. There was a huge line to get in the ruins and museums which we skipped. The tunnels under the pyramids are closed since COVID. There were also so many people packed in the main square that I really couldn’t take the pictures I wanted. We did climb to the top of the hill and go inside the church that was very pretty and had a great view of the city.

If you can go as early as possible (opening time is 9), it will be quiet and peaceful. It'll be so early that the markets at the beginning of the route won't be open yet. The hike up is challenging so you do need a basic level of fitness but it is so worth it. The pyramid is small but don't let that put you off. It's a piece of history which is preserved and tells us more about this world and for only 100 pesos entry, it's well looked after. The most beautiful part of this is the view that you are rewarded after your hike. Highlight of my time here.

I had been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to write this review once I had the chance. Perhaps I wasn’t paying close enough attention, but it seemed like nowhere was it mentioned that the path to this archaeological site takes approximately two hours if you’re not particularly fit. It’s genuine rough terrain—true hiking. According to my data, to reach the summit where the pyramid is located, you need to ascend about 400 meters vertically, which is roughly equivalent to climbing a 130-story building on foot. So, please keep this in mind, and most importantly, it seems that, judging by the number of people there—including small children being carried and elderly individuals—very few are actually aware of what lies ahead. Well, now you know. As for the archaeological site itself, to be honest, it’s probably not worth the climb, at least not more than once. There are a lot of people, and the charm of a secluded mountaintop spot dissipates. However, the pyramid stands right on the edge of a cliff, and behind it is a steep drop, reminiscent of the scene in the movie “From Dusk Till Dawn,” where the bar is revealed to be an ancient temple, and vampires would toss bodies and cars down below. This could have served as a prototype for that scene in the film. You can climb onto the pyramid, by the way, but the archaeological zone itself isn’t all that impressive. I must say, the ascent was quite a surprise, and don’t forget that you also have to descend, which isn’t exactly easy either. Oh, and at the end, they’ll charge you 100 pesos for visiting the area, of course. Overall, it’s pretty cool; everyone takes photos and is happy they made it. Those still climbing can be encouraged as you descend. So, it’s alright.

Really nice place! 90% of the hike has stairs, so as long as you have average condition, you should be able to safely hike this hill. I get why, but asking you to pay $100 mxn to see something you are already seeing (the pyramid-like construction) felt like it was not worth it (not complaining about the price, it is fair)

A beautiful place to visit the egg is very pleasant and the view from the top is stunning. I would recommend anyone to go there, the hike is a bit tough but it’s worth it. Take good shoes and water

Beautiful hiking! The path to the pyramid is very demanding but the view from there is amazing. The site is not well maintained, there is no bathroom and a lot of trash. To access the site you need to pay MXN 100 and it only accept cash.

The hike is strenuous, prepare in advance. Takes 3-4 hours to complete the whole trek. You will gain almost 2000 feet (600 meters) while going up. The trek is 1.4 miles (2 kms) one way. Keep 100 pesos per person, they take the entrance ticket just before the pyramid. Overall its a very nice hike with beautiful view at the top.

Entry to the pyramid (and the beautiful view) closes at 3pm/15:00, but there are no signs to indicate that until you’ve gone all the way up. Bummer! It’s a beautiful hike otherwise, and you’ll get a good workout.

Xochimilco, located just 30-40 minutes outside of Mexico City, offers a truly authentic Mexican experience that is both vibrant and unforgettable. Known for its colorful trajineras (boats), Xochimilco is the perfect place to immerse yourself in Mexican culture. Once you arrive, you can rent a boat to cruise through the picturesque canals. The experience can last as long or as short as you like—just let your boat operator know. As you float along, you’ll encounter vendors selling delicious Mexican food, from tacos to tamales, and even drinks like micheladas. Live music adds to the festive atmosphere, with mariachis and other musicians serenading you from nearby boats. A few tips: Go to the bathroom before you take a boat. Be sure to bring plenty of cash, as you’ll need it to pay for the boat ride and any food or music you’d like to enjoy. The cost varies depending on the length of your ride and what you purchase, but it’s all very reasonable. Also, Ubers were easy to find both to and from Xochimilco, making it a convenient day trip from the city. Plan for at least an hour but stay as long as you like to soak in the lively energy of this unique destination. Highly recommend!

It is a great nature and cultural experience. I am not sure why people would give negative reviews. We booked a boat for 1 hour for two people and went solo for 600 pesos ($36 USD). We got to experience how some families live a simple life near a canal in Mexico. We experienced serenity of nature. While some groups were blasting music in a natural area, we chose a calm and quiet trip through nature. We got plenty of beautiful pictures of the landscape from the water. I negotiated with the boatman to show us something different and a small doll house. So he offered to go further for an additional 30 minutes for 1000 pesos ($60 USD), making our trip of 1.5 hours. The boatman took us further up the canal into smaller ones, giving us plenty of picture moments. We loved it overall. The boatman was very nice and friendly despite the language barrier as we were communicating using Google translate. The boatman was young, he didn't go to the college. I asked him how much he makes from the 600 pesos per hour boat run? He mentioned that he only receives 100 pesos for his work, while the rest goes to the administration that owns the boats and maintains it. So I gave him a tip for his hard and honest work, which made him happy. We didn't wait for any food boats or anything, as we were more interested in experiencing the nature.

It was a fun-filled hour of relaxing as we floated on our private boat. My family found the different trajinera artisans selling food, drinks, flower's, jewelry, and offering Mariachi quite charming. Especially considering when you place an order they board your boat while in motion to serve you. Despite the rumors this isn't a tourist trap. Yes it does attracts tourists, but locals also come here to host birthday parties, get married and celebrate life in general. The Floating Gardens of Xochimilco give you a insight into what the area looked like in the 1500's, but if you aren't aware of the context this gem might be lost on you. This experience reminds you the entire area used to be a lake. If none of that strikes a cord with you, but you're a Frida Kahlo fan you might be interested just to see the where Frida and Diego got remarried.

Pier Fernando Celada / Embarcadero Fernando Celada is the name with more reviews. Even before you arrive at the floating gardens there will be people knocking on your Uber/taxi window trying to sell you on a tour of Xochimilco. None of them were on the side of the floating gardens, they must not be allowed to cross the street. Just walk to the boat area and ignore everyone else trying to sell to you. We went to the ticket window and were directed to a gentlemen with red hat and red shirt that briefly gave us information, asked how long of a tour we wanted, 1 hour (500 pesos), 2 hours (1000 pesos) etc. He called over one of the boat guys and that gentlemen led us down to the boat and was very nice. We didn’t have to pay anything until we got back. Along the way a boat pulled up besides us that was selling Corona for $40 pesos, delicious chicken and cheese quesadillas for $35 each, and waters for $30. Our “guide” kept pushing both boats along as they cooked the food right in front of us. My only regret was not ordering more food. The boat goes along somewhat slow, but it’s very quiet along the way with just nosies from animals and the occasional backyard stereo system. We did not have pesos after buying food, but we ended up just paying/tipping a little extra in USD for the ride and it was around 750 pesos with food for 3 people and the 1 hour tour. Pros: Food along the way, very peaceful, lots of wildlife. Cons: Very little English spoken here, they just need some sort of official information /ticket booth somewhere near to make things a little more comfortable, the water/some houses along the waterway were a little dirty.

100% a tourist trap. The sign says 2 hours for $1200 pesos. They charged us that much but then took us around for 1hour and sat near the dock for 20 minutes. Then eventually finally docked the boat after stalling. Then had the nerve to ask for a tip

It’s an experience. Fun hour to relax floating listening to music eating and drinking. You can get your own boat for $25 USD per hour. Food is cooked on another boat that comes up and hooks on. $5-10 for enchiladas or tacos.

Very different aspect in touring Mexico City. Yes, some call it a tourist trap attraction but it really isn't. It is a much calming respite from the busy life of Mexico City, be it the Historical Center or Coyoacán crowds. One doesn't need more than one hour and the different boats peddling their souvenir wares or offering Mariachi entertainment are not a nuisance at all. Please bear in mind that before the Conquista by Hernán Cortés, his troops and his Amerindian allies, the old capital of the Aztec Empire Tenochtilan was an island in the middle of a lake crisscrossed by many a water causeway. The Floating Gardens of Xochimilko can give you a very abstract idea what the place looked like prior to 1521.

This experience was a must on my trip to MX, however it was overwhelming to choose between vendors.. are they trustworthy? Will the service be good? Will I be comfortable? ... After reading many, many, reviews I decided to go with this company. Let me tell you that as soon as I paid, someone reached out and confirmed with me all my booking details and asked if I had any questions. Then, the day came, they picked us up exactly where they said they would be, everyone in the staff was kind and welcoming. You have opportunities to take pics and videos and it's not a "pushy" sales vibe, more of an optional vibe. The ride itself was so SMOOTH. The captain was great! Great views too! Landing was perfection and the pyramid tour was also great. All of this to say that if you have any worries (I get it!), this is the company to book with!

The hot air balloon ride with Sky Balloons Mexico was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the team made everything feel smooth, organized, and exciting. Watching the balloons inflate as the sun came up was magical—and once we were in the air, the views were breathtaking. Floating over the landscape felt peaceful and surreal, like a bucket-list moment come to life. Our pilot was friendly, skilled, and made us feel completely safe the entire time. The staff as a whole were welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Sky Balloons Mexico offers an incredible hot air balloon experience—beautiful views, excellent service, and memories that last a lifetime. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Magical hot air balloon experience over Teotihuacán Sky Balloons México delivered an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was organized, safe, and welcoming. The staff was professional and friendly, making us feel completely at ease. The sunrise flight over the pyramids was absolutely breathtaking—peaceful, surreal, and beautifully scenic. The pilot was skilled and gave us a smooth, comfortable ride with stunning panoramic views. We also enjoyed the post-flight breakfast and sparkling wine toast, which added a great celebratory touch to the morning. Whether you’re a first-time flyer or looking for a romantic or bucket-list adventure, Sky Balloons is a must in Mexico. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour as described. Really well organised from start to finish, no hidden charges or complications. Good communication by WhatsApp as well. Very happy, would definitely recommend!

Bad experience. We came on time. They made us wait. All other ballons were in the sky and the sunrise already passed and our balloon still didn't go up. The whole point of the advertised experience is to go up during the sunrise with all other ballons. So we didn't get to experience that. From my understanding there was a problem with the balloon which is why it was late. Regardless, it completely ruined our experience.

The best..... Absolutely sensational we booked through Viator and the process was seamless, we arrived safely on time and checked in.. offered coffee and snacks. Carlos our guide greeted us and gave us the run down, he was AWESOME and very knowledgeable about the balloon and process. He brought us to our balloon that lifted off right in front of the building and we were off . It was breathtaking. Skyteam and Carlos were awesome. Great English and personal involvement.. Carlos was on top of everything from the departure to landing... Skyteam balloon and Carlos. I trust

The experience is amazing. The place and stuff very friendly. The organization is prepared for everything, all is carefully think to have a great time. 100% recommended

It’s a small unkept ruin with a long hike uphill…the perk was the view other than that not worth it.

Get ready for a good but short hike up top. Bring mosquito repllent if you have.

Perfect for nature lovers and people looking for something different and keen on trekking or just having fun going up the pyramid. You'll need good cardio though, so take your time and enjoy your climb up.

A great place to contemplate the city from above, celebrating the spirit of the New Fire. It may need more care from local authorities, despite the fact, the Aztec building remains.

Archeological finds at the Cerro de la Estrella archeological site relate to the Teotihuacan, Toltec, Chichimeca and Culhua-Mexica cultures and range from 1500 BCE to 1521. Excavations have found the Temple of the New Fire, the Sanctuary, the Villa Estrellas, 144 caves, the remains of walls and evidence of terracing. The most important of these is the former plaza and temple of the New Fire Ceremony, which is on the top of the hill. This archeological site can be visited through a guided tour. However, early archeological remains can be found in many parts of the park, including those which have since been covered over by urban sprawl. Ceramic and stone sculpture materials were discovered in the west side of Huizachtecatl that apparently was made within the 100 to 500 years CE; these resemble other similar pieces found in Zacatenco, north of Mexico City. The constructions here were built between the year 100 and 650 AD and are located in the north side, the remains consist of foundations and walls of palaces that show Teotihuacan influence. Another area was housing zone at the middle of the hill, built during the late Classic period 600 to 900 CE. In 2003, specialists from the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia INAH worked to document petroglyphs found in various areas of the park, registering 210 in eleven groups, but they believe there are still more. Some of the petroglyphs are aligned with certain annual solar events. The most recent find was in 2006, when a pyramid base was discovered in what is called Calvary at the top of the mountain. This base dates to the Teotihuacan period, about 1300 years ago. INAH has decided not to excavate the base. The last New Fire ceremony took place in 1507. Today, the hill remains important culturally, as the scene of Iztapalapa’s annual Passion Play.

Beautiful place, ruins are well preserved

Ok

The museum was incredible - getting to first hand experience the space where Frida lived and died and and many of her beautiful works hanging throughout. My only issue was how wildly crowded it was. The tickets are sold in 15 minute intervals but unfortunately that staggering doesn’t do much - we would wait behind 10-15 people at each table to try and view the displays and read about Frida. At times there were so many people in the next room we would have to stand and wait 5-7 minutes before being able to move in, or so many people taking influencer posed photos on the stairs that you couldn’t even exit the home I’m Not sure that there’s any way to change those things but they were the only downside of an otherwise incredible experience.

I visited the Frida Kahlo Museum on Sunday, and it was such a lovely place! There’s so much interesting information about her life, beautiful art, and amazing antiques. I recommend watching the movie Frida first—it helps you understand and appreciate the museum even more. The ticket price was reasonable, but I suggest booking in advance because there was quite a long queue. It’s also best to take an Uber from your location to the museum. I absolutely loved this place! Greetings from the UK

Walking through the house where Frida Kahlo lived for 36 of her 47 years was an incredible and emotional experience. Every corner of the Blue House feels alive with her spirit — from the vibrant colors on the walls to the intimate details of her studio, bedroom, and garden. Seeing the actual objects she used, the clothes she wore, and the tools she painted with makes her story deeply personal. You can feel both her strength and vulnerability as you move through the rooms that witnessed her struggles, her creativity, and her love for Diego Rivera. It’s not just a museum — it’s a journey through her life, her art, and her resilience. A visit to the Frida Kahlo Museum is truly unforgettable and an absolute must for anyone visiting Mexico City.

This was incredible!!!!!! I didn’t get tickets before our trip so I had to do a walking tour to get an entrance ticket. The walking tour was great but wow this museum was cool. I loved that it included some of frida’s works and her real painting materials and furniture. There’s a tiny gift shop thing, which was just enough without being over the top or overly commodifying. I will remember this visit for a long, long time.

A must visit if you are visiting Mexico City. This museum has a lot of history behind it and you will get to see the place where Frida Kahlo spent her final years with all artifacts and detailed history of her. It would take 3 hours to get around. Make sure you book your tickets in advance (either directly or via tour operators) as they are quickly sold. They also have a gift shop and cookie shop inside if you wanted to refresh. Please visit if you are in CDMX.

It was a dream come true. I admire Friday Kahlo, and it's privilege to get access to the actual house she lived. The colors, easel she used, the beautiful kitchen, original paintings, her personal journals, original dress collection, everything is preserved and maintained so well. If you not watched Frida Kahlo movie just watch before entering the museum, you will relate more.

Book the tickets in advance and come on time. The exhibition is not really showing much, but it does show some spirits of Frida Kahlo. The atmosphere all around is very nice and relaxing. Take a seat in the garden and enjoy the vibes would also be a good experience.

This place has a very similar volcanic formation to that of Devil's Tower. That said, this place is very different in climate, altitude, etc. The formations tend to go down into a small valley. There are lots of walking paths here and you need to be ok with going over a suspension bridge and up and down steps. Doing that will give you a much fuller and richer experience. I highly recommend this place!

The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla are Mexico’s version of Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway and Iceland’s Svartifoss—but with a hacienda, history, and a side of enchiladas. Once part of a booming silver-mining region, the prisms sit beside the grand Hacienda Santa María Regla, built in the 1700s by a mining baron who clearly liked a good view. Explorer Alexander von Humboldt visited in 1803 and made the spot world-famous. Today, you can actually stay at the old hacienda and sneak out for private access to the backside of the waterfalls—basically your own secret entrance to one of Mexico’s most photogenic hidden gems.

An amazing basaltic prisms canyon with beautiful walking path for strolling and taking pictures. Wonderful waterfall, landscape, gift shops, food and deserts. A must visit when in Huasco de Ocampo.

Amazing place! Fascinating natural formation of basaltic prisms. Entrance is 100 mxn per person which includes parking.

What a beautiful and magical place. Walked around with family and spectacular views from almost everywhere. Relaxing, peaceful and tranquil!

What a beautiful place. This is so amazing i have never seen anything like this. Beautiful walk around beautiful everything. Went closer to closing time so that was nice because there was less people. Pictures come out so nice so take many.

Beautiful and extensive place. It's worth a day's visit. Taking a boat ride around the dam is a nice experience. The extreme zip line very safe in that place with double rope harnesses. I hope soon to visit this site again

A beautiful palace full of interesting art. It was free during my visit which is a nice gesture. The exhibits were cool, I won't pretend to be so interested in art. The property itself is a work of art and a great place for photographers to take some shots. Highly recommended!

This place is amazing ! The theatre tour is every 30 min. alternating between Spanish and English. It is definitely a must see and experience. We then proceeded to get a ticket for the art gallery. Being senior there was no charge. But I would’ve gladly paid. The architecture and the attention to detail. The floors, the walls, the ceilings the columns are all together. The artwork of course is “different strokes for different folks” but all in all, just amazing ! What a beautiful experience !

Really worth a visit it has 17 stunning murals by famous Mexican artists like Diego Rivera and paintings. We joined a free guided tour and the guide was great at explaining the murals(4/5) and their hidden symbolisms. I would totally recommend to join a tour as there is much that the descriptions won't be able to cover

Amazingly beautiful venue for theatre and dance. It’s a magnificent artistic building itself. We saw the ballet folklorico here while in town and bought the cheaper tickets with balcony seats up top. And it was still a great experience.

We saw the Lilia Carillo exhibition and Diego murals , took about a hour and half but we took our sweet time. Def recommend visiting. Tickets were about 5$ per adult

Art Nouveau outside and art deco inside. The palace is possible the most beautiful building in Mexico City. The best view from outside comes from the café across the street (8th floor of Sears). Nice murals inside too, including Rivera’s.

I walked in without knowing much about the history and solely depended upon the Google reviews. This was a huge mistake. I didn’t even know it has gallery rooms. It is one of those places where the reviews can be way off the mark. So I recommend reading something about this place and its events beforehand since there are no English speaking guides (unless you hire one) or plaques available. For some incorrect reviews, there are 5 pieces of Diego Rivera’s murals. Other than the destroyed Rockefeller Center reproduction, four murals of “Carnaval de la Vida Mexicana” series are here. It is not well known but you should not miss them if you are a fan. And other murals are magnificent as well. On the way up to the third floor, they drove us through the Lilia Carrillo show. I was initially vexed but it turned out as a great opportunity to see her paintings although I had no knowledge about her life and artworks. One thing that really bothered me was there were Spanish speaking guides explaining two murals. The one who guides the “Man, the Controller of the Universe” stays in front of it too long giving the audience an “unwarranted one hour lecture” while asking them foolish questions. I couldn’t get close to see the details thanks to that. I hope they shorten the time. It is a great place to visit for sure.

This is one additional beautiful part of Mexico City ! It is a MUST visit ! No 2 ways about it. There are 2 lineups at the ticket office.1 for cash and 1 for card. The card lineup was shorter so we had a two minute wait there and the lady that gave us. Our tickets took one look at us in with all our gray hair and wrinkles. Gave us a free admission for old farts. Lol. Getting an order does have its advantages. It’s a slow steady walk up a gradual incline before reaching this thing of beauty. This is where they stamp your ticket. There is only a few people ahead of us. It was around noon on a Friday afternoon. When we left, there were a lot more people, but still the line was moving fairly quickly. We spent a few hours roaming around through this magnificent structure with its beautiful displays and wonderful gardens.

This is a stunning walk through a historical building filled with beautiful artwork from a few different eras . The castle itself has a few different exhibits and the living areas of the place are staged and have explanations in Spanish and English about the use of each of space. Views from the top of the castle looking down the hill are incredible and worth the hike up.

Entrance was about 5USD. There was a lot of art, history, and scenery here. Easily spent a few hours here. The only con for those who may be older or with disabilities, you must walk uphill in order to arrive to the castle. There were a few cars that were able to enter, I assumed for drop off. I would look into this if needed.

I'm a big fan of the park surrounding the castle but found the castle itself beautiful but rigid. I had my full frame camera with me when I purchased the ticket at the ground level entrance. After walking up the hill, the xop checking tickets asked if I could remove my lens from my camera? There was a 0% chance that was happening and if this is an actual rule it should be displayed when you purchase the ticket. Everything else was without incident.

Lovely castle to walk around. It is a 5-10min walk up to the castle so bring comfortable walking shoes. The front half of the castle exhibits are only in Spanish, but the second half of the castle had translations. Lovely walk through history of Mexico and high up viewpoint of cityscape. 100 mxn entry free for foreigners, can buy them at the door.

Beautiful castle, home to more than 62 vireyes and presidents , a lot of home display pieces of art from that time and mexican history. Gorgeous gardens and balconies with incredible views of the park and Paseo de la Reforma angel statue. Entrance fee $100 pesos . Pictures allow, a bit of walk from main entrance to the castle about 10 minutes .Washroom available. Bad check by the entrance. Crowded most days.No water or food allowed inside. Mondays is closed. Definitely a place to see .Time to spend 3h plus to make the visit worth it.

An incredible space. Beautifully preserved and presented to show how life was like during those times. A fascinating presentation of history. Well worth the visit!

Museo Nacional de Antropología – CDMX 🇲🇽 ⭐ Rating: 10/10 An absolute must-visit in Mexico City — this museum is a true national treasure. 🏛️ From the moment you step in, you’re surrounded by the rich history and culture of Mexico, with incredible exhibitions ranging from Mayan and Aztec civilizations to fascinating artifacts from indigenous cultures across the country. The architecture is breathtaking, especially the iconic central courtyard with the massive waterfall pillar — it’s one of those places that leaves a lasting impression. The displays are beautifully curated, and you can easily spend half a day or more exploring without getting bored. 💡 Tip: Go early, wear comfy shoes, and don’t miss the Aztec Sun Stone — it’s even more impressive in person. #CDMX #MuseoDeAntropologia #MexicoCulture #MustVisit #HistoryLovers

The Building is so incredibly ugly, but the exhibition is absolutely fantastic. It’s a shame that there is not much description next to the most famous artefacts., however you can always use Claude to get an explanation of what you have just seen. Do you go to the upper floor where no one is to get some rest and sit down while you hop from civilisation to civilisation. Surprisingly, The Restaurant that is inside the Museum is not bad at all, and not even with expensive. I suggest you do take a break because there is so much to see, and it’s better still to have some energy to see them all in one day

Wow this place is massive! This is a two level, U-shaped museum offering thousands of unique historical finds from all over Mexico. They also have foreign exhibits seasonally. You start on one end, work your way through the halls, and end up at the end of the building. Plan on spending at least 2-3 hours exploring all the great things to see. There is a little park and courtyard right outside where you can grab a quick snack before going in.

We booked the "Amigo" guided tour and were helped by this awesome Leonardo dude. This is such a great experience where we learned so much about the amazing history of Mexico, about its culture and traditions, and it's definitely a blast! Would absolutely recommend this museum, this guided tour, and Leonardo the perfecto, to everyone who's interested.

Plethora of various artefacts from pre-hispanic civilazations of Mesoamerica and i guess that is what most if us come to Mexico for. You will find them here. Not sure why some descriptions are in spanish only though. Also during my visit some of the outdoor areas were closed. I've been twice here, and not sure why but there was a day with free entrance.

By far a must see while in Mexico City. It’s a vast museum, so give yourself a whole day because there are multiple buildings and floors. But we found it to be exceptional and worth it. We also took a break halfway through and enjoyed an amazing lunch at the museum restaurant. Wear your comfortable walking shoes and take as many pics as you can!

What a complex! We took the Turismo bus (yes, they are wheelchair accessible!) to it, and lo and behold we didn't need our portable ramp to get around this huge set of museums. We tried to hit all the major parts of the museum, but you really need to take more than one day to grasp the full scale of the place. And for essentially $5 US dollars per person, it's pretty much a steal! As you can see, we mostly stuck to the sections with older artifacts, basically triaging our time so we could get the most out of it. The wheelchair accessibility is pretty good, save for the back of buildings that led out into gardens and a tomb replica. As for getting something to eat, there are vendors strung along in a row right in front of the main entrance plaza, and the food is cheap and delicious. Sit and eat in the adjoining park area and enjoy dogs and children playing in the fountains. And of course, last but not least, there is a gift shop, where you can buy all sorts of books and other items to take home with you.

Symbolic monument of Pachuca. Good place to look around.

Great monument, well maintained except is all dirty post the crazy female attack who think ruining a historic clock is going to make a difference, such a shame, the government needs to clean it and defend it from massive manifestations.

There is a lot of places to shop around here with beautiful surroundings!

I was devastated when I saw all the graffiti on the walls of that monument. Pachuca is turning into Mexico City extension and I don't like it. I miss my old peaceful Pachuca.

A beautiful structure located on the heart of Pachuca. The Monumental landmark is the center piece in the heart of downtown surrounded by traditional buildings. The square surrounding the clock has plenty of attractions. There are street vendors, restaurants and stores surrounding the plaza. Fun and exciting energy in the surrounding area so this is a must visit if you ever go to Pachuca!

Appreciate classical architecture and experience hustle bustle of the town of Pachuca. We came on Sunday morning and was fortunate to see the local MP performing their drill in front of the clock tower. Tips: Walk beyond few blocks behind BBVA building and heads towards the Mercado. You will get first hand experience the local doing the business and its much more lively there.

A beautiful Monument set in a small town square with stunning architecture. The atmosphere of stores, shops, restaurants, street vendors and tourists surrounding the clock especially the locals providing entertainment amplified the life of the square to provide an enchanting and fun experience. Another must see when visiting Pachuca

Awesome botanical garden. Biggest stained glass I have ever seen. Very clean inside. There is also a pond with koy fish. Cash only and they don’t take bigger denomination bills. They don’t have change to give you.

Beautiful location to come visit 25 pesos per person lots of different places to eat around great place to walk around

A very nice place to explore. The stained glass is spectacular.

My favorite place in town. Absolutely worth a visit every few weeks.

I like the Cosmovitral because it is very beautiful. First, it is a very big place and you can walk a lot. Secondly, it is a very peaceful place so you can relax. Next, it is in a nice location and it is easy to visit. Also, you feel relaxed because there are many plants and colors. Plus: It has a hot climate. Drink water before you go and wear comfortable clothes. Finally, going to the Cosmovitral is a good idea because you can enjoy art plus nature.

Amazing! Highly recommend. We receive a great tour and expectation of all the different stores behind each strain glass. The ground and beautiful. There are lots of opportunities for some amazing photos.

It was amazing to go to Cosmovitral (botanical garden). The garden has different parts like tropical, desert, japanese. With the colorful windows you can take amazing pictures. The 25 pesos were worth it. We went there in the late afternoon (after 4pm). We could go in directly, inside they were around 20-30 other people. The botanical garden closes at 6pm.

Great archeological site to visit that’s about 1.5 hours outside the city. There’s lots of beautiful cacti, flowers, plants, insects, and birds. Makes for a peaceful walk to the pyramids. The Toltec statues are amazing and you get a magnificent view from the top of the pyramid. FYI- the only restroom they have is at the entrance so be sure to go there before walking to the pyramids.

Great place to explore Toltec ruins and learn about that culture. Small entrance fee. Plenty of parking. Short walk to the ruins. Awesome statues and pyramid. Nice botanical garden also.

The quality of maintenance of the Archaeological Zone and the museum has deteriorated substantially due to the lack of work tools for the staff, security employees and lack of investments by INAH and the manager of the site. As of end of 2024, The museum is still partly closed due to lack of investment and disappearing antique objects. The worker's union strike is only a reaction to these politics. The staff demands the re-opening of the museum in its full size. The State of Mexico is not only letting go to waste its historical treasures,it seems it is out-selling them! You can climb 2 pyramids although one will soon be grown over by plants if the maintenance stays as bad as it is. During off-season, depending on the material, sculptures up to 10cm are sold from only 10 pesos, sculptures up to 30cm for only 20 pesos. They have a lot of different kinds of souvenirs and clothes and you can bargain a very cheap price. I give Tula 4 stars despite the bad management because it is totally worth the visit. Majestic sculptures, beautiful temples and nature. If you are physically impaired, it is hard to walk about 1.5 km from the parking until the main temple. In a wheelchair,it will be possible,it's not steep, but very rocky and shaky.

Great.... 1 hour is enough for me.... Tooooo hot. Go on a cloudy day.

A very interesting site to visit. The ruins are a walk of about 500 meters or so, but level and well marked. There were vendors along the way with interesting trinkets, but NO water...bring a water bottle with you as there is little shade. The signs along the way are very informative. Plan on an hour and a half or so. You climb up the pyramid to see the statues...

We had a wonderful visit. They provided most of the information boards in English which really helped my kids and I out trying understand what each structure was. The staff was very friendly. I would love to come back when the museum is opened. There was a nice walk before the structure with a few vendors posted on along the way. It was nice to buy a few memorabilia for my kids.

Short walk if nonstop. As of April 2024 the museum portion is closed due to a strike. Along the way to the pyramid site, there are paths of different giant cactuses and native trees. There are vendors along the path selling souvenirs, typical garments etc. The ruins cover a small area, so the walk is short. You can buy refreshments at the entrance and sun hats with the vendors.

A fee will be collected at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain. The overall view is inspirational and breathtaking. Take a hike if you have enough time. The best way to get there is to hire a taxi all the to the foot of the mountain, it will cost about 1000 pesos round trip.

The town is wonderful. Now about the hike to the mountain: the tourist entry from the town side cost 30 pesos, but they never give you any information. Like : sorry, the top is closed today. This side of the mountain is private. Yes, unlike Europe or the usa, people here in Mexico get to own mountains, lakes, rivers… all of it and then monetize it. If you want to enjoy the nature like civilized people do, you need to pay for it and then abide the stupid rules. Yes, there are plenty of those. I highly suggest you enter the mountain from the west side, from the camping grounds- it’s free and the hike is much more scenic . Good luck! 👍

If you love Hiking this is a must Do, Amazing Trail and scenic views, Friendly locals and great food.

Beautiful clean and relaxing town. Definitely will go back again

Strenuous hike, it took me about 2 hours total to climb up and back down. Beautiful view. Hot day! Be sure to bring lots of water, comfy shoes, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen

Good place but too noise and dangerous during holidays when people drive razers while drink alcohol; gets very noisy

Great place, quiet and beautiful

We took a Didi to the spot tagged on Google Maps and walked back to the historic center. There are quite a few restaurants, cafes and clubs along route 200.

Beautiful landmark day or night.

Beautiful aqueduct especially at night.

In the middle of a very busy street in the middle of an equally hectic city is this astounding example of a historically significant piece of architecture and engineering. The Aqueduct of Queretaro runs a fair distance and although one could walk, bike, or drive the entire distance, it is not necessary. At the point on Google Maps where this pin is placed is a plaza with benches, some information boards, a few artistic bronze statues, and it is an excellent spot to take some photos of this engineering marvel. The fact that at the time of my visit there was a group of university grads taking photos in their grad gowns tells me this is a popular spot amongst locals for that special photo. I am really glad I came here to check out this gem and am awarding this with 5 stars.

The aqueduct stretches for a good while, over a kilometer, so your experience of it will vary depending on where you see it. To be honest, it's not that impressive. Five minutes after you get there you'll be done taking your pictures and looking for something else to do.

A highlight within queretaro, nothing special but worth visiting

Los Arcos" in Querétaro, Mexico, which is a natural monument and tourist attraction. Los Arcos is a rock formation located in the Sierra Gorda mountain range, about 22 kilometers northeast of the city of Querétaro. Los Arcos consists of seven large rock arches that span a distance of approximately 300 meters. The arches were formed over millions of years by erosion from wind and water, and they are composed of sandstone and shale. The site is considered a sacred place by the indigenous communities of the area, and it has been used for religious ceremonies for centuries. Today, Los Arcos is a popular destination for tourists and hikers who come to explore the natural beauty of the site and enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. There are several hiking trails that lead to Los Arcos, and visitors can also enjoy activities such as rock climbing, rappelling, and zip-lining. There is also a small museum at the site that provides information about the history and geology of Los Arcos. Overall, Los Arcos is a unique and fascinating natural wonder that offers visitors a glimpse into the geological and cultural history of the region.

Awesome decorations during new year time.happening place. Second time I visited during Good Friday and saw the parade which is awesome. Sharing videos and decorations.downtown is best place to visit in festival

Historic city Center of Queretero city. History goes back to 500 years with nice buildings still showing the architectural heritage. You can find paid parking in the downtown and then a nice walk around the place is best way to explore this place. There are very nice restaurants to enjoy local cuisine.

What a fun place to be. I passed by and there was a band playing traditional music and another side a person playing piano. Such a cool spot to hang out and enjoy the outdoors…. Fun and Lively ❤️

Small, cozy plaza full of greenery and flowers and surrounded by fancy restaurants and cafés. Full of families and couples in the evening. Wonderful romantic vibe.

The ultimate Queretaro experience, walk through this beautiful plaza de armas, enjoy the views, the food, the artesanies, and its people. There are so many eateries, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, regional candy stores and more. Suggestion: try the Enchiladas Queretanas, the Huaraches, the Arrachera, and the salsas 😋👌🏼

Beautifully decorated for da holidays. Vendors, & stores selling fun & yummy stuff. One restaurant in particular we didn't like, tried it twice... Chucho el Roto has da most arrogant waiters I've ever met.

Beautiful square, very colonial European feeling. A beautiful and relaxing area to enjoy the city. There are a few restaurant around the square.

Simply amazing church. Reminded me a bit of La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Numerous photo ops around the plaza. Lots of people lots of fun!

Just a beautiful parroquia (cathedral) to see in San Miguel de Allende. You don’t have to be catholic to appreciate the beauty and design of this church. You’ll see it from all around town. It’s the center of town for a reason and admired and appreciated by all her residents. Highly recommend.

Simply breathtaking church, With such rich history. Day or night its a spectacle. So many shops, delicious eateries and music in the area. Loved every minute. Felt safe the entire time. Wear comfortable, rubber sole or traction shoes because the terrain (cobblestone) is rough outside of the plaza.

Beautiful church poised on the land of the Jardin Allende, serving as the focal point for San Miguel de Allende. Come and visit, sit in the park, visit one of the cafecitos or restaurants, and take some time out of your life.

San Miguel de Allende, is a charming colonial town in central Mexico. Known for its stunning architecture, cobblestone streets, and good vibes, it attracts visitors from around the globe. The town's iconic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, with its distinctive pink towers, is a must-see landmark. Beyond its beauty, San Miguel de Allende offers a rich cultural experience, with numerous galleries, museums, and lively festivals throughout the year.

Gem of the city. Great place to hang out and people watch & listen to musicians. Lots of food vendors & restaurants. Clean and Safe.

Beautiful small town, great culture, very family oriented, lots of small business. Loved the atmosphere, alot of tourists. Great placed to enjoy if you are looking for a contrast environment than city life.

Excellent place to visit local artists and view their artistic talents. They have a cafe and workshops. They also have artworks for purchase. It’s really nice place to view different artworks as they have multiple galleries.

This place is an act of generosity. Anyone can walk in for free (even with their dog) and simply enjoy the endless rooms of gorgeous art.

We did the Sunday Art Walk where many of the artists are there to show and talk about their work (First Sunday of the month). Great space and lots of art on display

This is a very special gallery and a must see to add to your San Miguel trip. $100mx about $5 to take a ta I there. I loved it and bought some very special pieces of art for my collection. Don’t miss it.

So much to see! Wonderful art and sculpture and jewelry. Diverse mix of styles and media. Some galleries offer workshops. Two restaurants and a wine tasting room. Great experience!

Fantatstic art and antiques galley. We walked there and back from the plaza in Centro. So many eye popping displays. I snapped these images before I realized they ask for no photos throughout. I feel like these images do not egregiously snub that request. I discovered many things. I discovered a few art classes and a new artist I will be following. Well worth a return!

Stairs stairs stairs everywhere. Please be advised if you have lower extremity problems. Otherwise this is the best view of the city. Its breathtaking. And dont pass up the local food and snacks being offered at the top by the locals. DELICIOUS! If you are fit and decide to opt out of the lift car (either up or back down), my husband climbed the stairs and said it took him 5-10 min. He was winded but he said it wasnt bad.

I especially love visiting here in the late afternoon, sitting atop the hill with a gentle evening breeze, watching the old town bathed in the colorful glow of the sunset. The whole atmosphere is peaceful and romantic—perfect for relaxing and taking photos!

It has a beautiful view of the city. We went during the day, but can imagine how beautiful it must look at night. It's very cold, so make sure to go in warm clothes.

Two options to go here : funicular ride or the stairs. The hike is tiring but great things to see too. I go up with stairs and go down with funicular. The funicular cost 40 peso and stairs are free. Nice view from th platform. Big statue of pipila on top of the hill. Some shops nearby and also toilet is nearby.

Great spot and a delightful view of El Centro, the downtown city center and the river of commerce that flows through its base. You can see a big chunk of this historic city from here but certainly not the whole thing, you need to visit La Buffa to see it all and that's a hike, like an actual hike with a bit of amateur rock climbing required. Bring a hiking stick if you go up there, it's like a third leg. But back to Pipila. There is a short funicular ride up for $40MX pesos. A steal compared to the heart attack you might have trying to take the path and steps which are not marked well, if at all. It doesn't look very far away or up and maybe technically it isn't but you aren't walking a ladder up to it so it's a pretty circuitous route. I recommend hitching a ride up on said funicular and then walking down from there. Behave like water here and you will never be lost. Just keep going downhill until you can't and you will be at the basin of the river of commerce and everything leads from there. Behave opposite of water and you will find little treasures off the beaten path. Better food and charming shops. You cannot get lost because if you don't know where you are you only need behave like water and soon enough you'll splash into the river of commerce again. This place was built up by geological forces and carved out by millennia of floods and monsoon rains. Don't fight it. Get lost. Be water. Be found. Find a bench. Find yourself.

It's a must-visit place when you come to Guanajuato. There is a cable car, but if you can walk, I recommend following the route signs from near Union Garden

Awesome view of the City, with great scenery. Good to hang out and have some food or a refreshing drink.

The city built during the 17 and 18 hundreds has its own version of Romero and Juliet. This is were the lovers were able to kiss across the alley because their balconies almost touched. It a must see but slightly over rated.

What an experience!!! Very clean very beautiful and the tradition was very well explained

Funny tourist attraction, but why not while you're here!

This is the most famous alleyway in the city with a tragic story behind it. If you visit I recommend you include this in your interary. Especially love birds 🐦

Great place, to many tourists! Lots a walking bring your good legs and comfy shoes. If you have bad hips and knees, definitely this is not the place for you.

We had a great experience here. Do some homework first and you'll enjoy the experience. Knowing the legend beforehand we and having seen pics we just wanted a photo but over the festival weekend it had hundreds of people in line. We asked before and were told it was mxn $50 to get on the balcony. We deduced immediately this would be mxn $50 each since we would each go to separate balconies. The guy telling the legend and taking pictures with your phone/camera does it for tips and he does it well and takes many great pictures. The fun for us was in the crowd, both watching them as well as having them cheer as we kissed and cheering as they kiss. It was really a great festive environment. If crowded or on the weekends they open the balcony at noon. Just show up a few minutes early and you shouldn't have to wait. It's likely not crowded during the week or when large events aren't going on.

A lot of history I loved it very clean town. The Museum of Las momias is small. I did a tour for $300 pesos.

I was surprised by this museum! 😱 There were so many different mummies. And some bad stories, too! They have the YOUNGEST mummy in the world, a 6-month old fetus mummy! 😱 And the stories are in English & Spanish! 🙏🏼 I wish there were English tours available. Or headset to listen to stories... Or QR codes to read more about the stories.. that would be nice.. No bathrooms inside 😔 Pay bathrooms outside.

Now you see kids, this is what happens when you don't pay your bills! Pretty interesting but pretty creepy too. Beats the Egyptian mummy museums hands down. We were there in mid-May and walked there from the funicular. A long hill on the last part but not bad.

I loved this mummy—honestly, it fascinated me on so many levels. When I first walked into the museum, there was a noticeable scent. Not a creepy or unpleasant one, but something strangely familiar… earthy, maybe? It felt like the scent of time itself. What the staff didn’t mention was that my 106-peso ticket only allowed access to the basic exhibit. I didn’t realize this until I was about to leave and noticed there were other areas I couldn’t enter. That part was a bit disappointing—so make sure you buy the full ticket if you go. The tour guides spoke only Spanish, so I didn’t understand much at the time. But once I got home and did my research, everything clicked. These mummies are completely natural. No embalming. No rituals. They were discovered when the government exhumed bodies due to unpaid burial taxes—and shockingly, many were perfectly preserved by the dry conditions and the unique soil. The first mummy ever found was a priest, which is why he’s quite famous here. But the most heart-wrenching and iconic is the six-month-old baby mummy. The baby was found still in its mother’s arms—most likely both died during childbirth. That image really stuck with me. What struck me most was how this baby, who would’ve been seen as a symbol of the divine, ended up buried without breath, sealed in sawdust, only to survive time as a mummy. It’s philosophical. It’s poetic. And no, it’s not scary at all. These mummies are oddly endearing. Almost gentle in the way they speak to mortality. Later, while walking through the local market, I saw some sweet potatoes and tree roots in the same earthy tones as the mummies. Everything started to feel connected—like nature, death, time, and even snacks are speaking in the same color palette. Wild, right? So if you’re visiting Guanajuato: 💀 Don’t skip the mummy museum. 🎟️ Buy the full ticket. 📚 Read up afterward if you don’t speak Spanish. 😌 And if you’re scared—honestly, don’t be. These mummies aren’t scary. They’re full of stories and quiet wisdom. If you’re too afraid… maybe it’s best not to come. But if you’re curious, it’s absolutely worth it.

Glad I read the reviews beforehand so I knew what to expect. GO DIRECTLY TO THE MUSEUM PARKING. Be prepared to pay extra if using a card. Went in the morning. Hardly anyone was there besides random people (4+) trying AGRESSEVELY to hawk super inflated items in the parking lot. The exhibits were nice enough, but not very informative. Maybe 15 of the mummies actually had an explanation of their origins. Didn't pay extra for the fancier exhibits though. The gift shop had a decent selection, but also inflated prices. $230 pesos for a T shirt when other vendors are selling for around $150. All in all if you're in the area it's a fine museum, but I wouldn't make this the sole reason to visit GTO.

Arrived around 2pm on a Sunday. Waited for ticket and entry for about 45 minutes. 120 pesos for the main exhibit and the extra room. They bring you in in groups, but they don't pay attention to how many people have left before letting more people in, so the museum gets so packed that you literally cannot walk to see the exhibits until your group moves to the next room. By the time your group moves to the next room, the group or 2 behind you are already filling up that room so it's packed again. I think this was because my group was offered a free guide, so they stayed in each room longer to listen to his information. But I wanted to also see the mummies, so I eventually waited for my group to go a few rooms ahead and by the time I was maybe 3 or 4 groups behind and the guide was nowhere in sight, finally there was room to walk and see the mummies. Very bad organization! The mummies themselves are cool and the extra room was nice and quicker to walk through without the crowds. Took about 45 minutes to walk through the entire museum, with being stuck waiting for the crowds to move for 5+ minutes in each room. I think if you go earlier or maybe on a weekday, you'd have less chance of a crowd. I also think being in a group with a free guide was not good with such a large group.

The most expensive museum I visited in Guanajuato and the most interesting/disappointing as well. When you enter the first room, it is very cool seeing the mummies and how well preserved they are and learning about how some of them died. Then you walk into another room...and same thing. Then another room with the same. Then another room with the same....you get the idea... Also they say to try and be quiet but the tour guy is shouting loudly and people are talking on the phones etc. Bottom line - interesting but basic exhibit and poorly organized. Tickets were 106 pesos for adults.

First time visiting. Very interesting. Worth the trip. A long line on Sunday, super crowded and a long wait to purchase tickets and enter. Group tours led by a guide. Too many people to fit in each salon and it was hard to hear the guide. Also, as a non native speaker it was extremely difficult to understand all the complex aspects of the tour/museum/mummies. However it was still very interesting and memorable.
