Guadalajara is not the most usual choice for most first-time visitors to Mexico. Despite all of the culture, history, and gastronomy that the Jalisco capital has to offer, it is often overshadowed in favor of Mexico City.
However, there are plenty of things to do in Guadalajara, whatever your interests, to keep you occupied for a long weekend. The city also makes a wonderful jump-off point for a wider Jalisco itinerary, or as a travel paring with nearby Puerto Vallarta.

Things to do in Guadalajara
Historic Guadalajara is Mexico’s second-largest city. While it pales in comparison to Mexico City in terms of size, it is recognized as the birthplace of several Mexican traditions. Notably, mariachi, tequila, and charreada are extremely popular in this part of western Mexico.
The modern city of Guadalajara dates back to 1542. It was made the capital of Nueva Galicia province in 1560 and really thrived during the 17th and 18th centuries when people started to relocate here from Spain en masse.
Miguel Hidalgo, one of the most notable figures in the Mexican war for Independence, set up a government office in Guadalajara in the 19th century. Today, the Guadalajara metropolitan area is home to a population of over 5.3 million people.
Try a torta ahogada
Mexican food differs substantially from one part of the country to another. For instance, some of the food that you will find in Jalisco cannot be found elsewhere, while Yucatecan food is something entirely unique.
One Guadalajara specialty that you must try while in town is the torta ahogada (drowned sandwich). The sandwich is made by stuffing crispy pork carnitas and red onions inside a crusty bread roll.
Then, a generous amount of spicy tomato sauce is slathered on top. The sandwich was invented by accident by a street vendor in the early 1900s when he dropped an entire sandwich in a container of salsa!
The customer assured him that he still wanted to eat it and fell completely in love with the soggy sandwich concept! You will find torta ahogada fast food shops and stalls all over Guadalajara today, each claiming to serve the best sandwich in town.
It is a unique dining experience that may not be for everyone. But when else have you had the opportunity to tuck into a sandwich that you need to eat with a spoon?
Tour a haunted graveyard
Panteón de Belén is a historic graveyard in the center of Guadalajara that is home to some notable residents. Touring a Mexican cemetery may seem a little macabre, but they are markedly different from western cemeteries and provide an interesting insight into Mexican traditions and perspectives on death.
Mexican mausoleums are elaborate and colorful. Some tombs look like they belong in an art museum and some of the sculptures and structures you see are beautiful.
The 19th century Panteón de Belén quickly reached its maximum occupancy during the early 19th century due to several pandemics at that time. There used to be two cemeteries here – one for the rich, and one for the poor.
Sadly, the cemetery for the poor was demolished and turned into a hospital. However, you can take guided tours (in Spanish and in English) around the remaining section.
Here, you can learn the stories behind the cemetery’s most notable residents and hear tales of hauntings. For instance, the ghost of a little boy known as ¨nacho nino¨ who was afraid of the dark and for weeks after his death kept being spotted outside of his crypt.
Or the more heartwarming story of Joseph Johnston and Jean Young. They were a wealthy couple from Paisley, Scotland who dedicated their lives to helping the poor in Guadalajara.
Today, centuries after their deaths they are still respected local icons. People still stop by and leave trinkets, flowers, and offerings by their graves in hope that they will be granted good fortune.
See the mariachi at Tlaquepaque
Guadalajara and the state of Jalisco are known for being the birthplace of two things: Tequila and mariachi. Mariachi is said to have originated in this region of western Mexico, and the city of Tlaquepaque in particular is credited for its success.
The colorful city is a pueblo magico (a Mexican town with a particularly special culture/history). At its historic center, you can find El Parian square, a small cobbled piazza with a bandstand, where live musicians perform to patrons in local bars.
The square dates back to 1878 and mariachi bands have been performing here since the 1920s. At the time, that was quite a controversial move by the event organizers as mariachi wasn’t widely accepted.
Today, you can still stop by one of the restaurants and bars in El Parian square and enjoy the live music while you enjoy a tequila cazuela. Tlaquepaque on the whole is worthy of an afternoon’s exploration.
It is known for its handicrafts, particularly its ceramics, glass-blown items, and handpainted tiles. Meander down Calle Independencia to check out the independent art galleries and the grand colonial mansions that have been converted into restaurants.
Go for brunch in leafy Colonia Americana
The chic, leafy district of Colonia Americana is one of the hippest areas in Guadalajara. So hip in fact, that Time Out magazine nominated it as being the coolest neighborhood in the world in 2022.
Colonia Americana is to Guadalajara what Greenwich Village is to New York City. The tree-lined promenades of this area are filled with eclectic coffee shops and cafes frequented by intellectuals and creatives.
Avenida Chapultapec is the main strip in the area, home to an abundance of bars and international restaurants. However, part of the fun of exploring Colonia Americana is found in stumbling across art galleries and eccentric stalls that are hidden away down unsuspecting streets and passageways.
Calle Prisciliano Sanchez and Libertad have an abundance of dining options. For brunch, lunch, or coffee, head to Gabinete (Libertad 1698).
Explore the historic center
The main square at the center of any Mexican city is known as the ¨Zocalo¨ and Guadalajara’s zocalo is a beautiful one. You could easily dedicate an entire day to exploring the historic center of Guadalajara at a leisurely rate and you could never tire of seeing the buildings here.
The double-spired cathedral is the main focal point of the square. It was built in the Spanish Renaissance style during the 16th century and features a neoclassical facade, with neo-Gothic bell towers that were constructed in the 19th century.
Its interiors are just as gorgeous as the exterior and it is possible to go inside, as long as there isn’t a service taking place. The other gothic buildings in the area are a photographer’s dream.
Look out for the neoclassical Teatro Degollado – a gorgeous theater that hosts various opera and musical performances, as well as the Jalisco Philharmonic orchestra. Nearby, look out for the Palacio de Gobierno and the Templo de Santa Teresa de Jesus.
The neoclassical Instituto Cultural Cabañas was the oldest orphanage in the Americas. Today, it houses an art museum that showcases the works of José Clemente Orozco.
Stroll around Lake Chapala
From central Guadalajara, you can take a bus to Lake Chapala – Mexico’s largest freshwater lake. The beautiful lake is surrounded by a plethora of chic coffee shops, bars, and restaurants serving Mexican food and international fare.
Several boutique hotels can be found in the area and make a great place to stay if you want to get away from the city for a night or two. Street vendors line the pathways selling everything from elotes and homemade ice cream prepared with real fruit pieces, to bottles of homemade wine.
You can rent pontoons and little row boats around the lake to watch the sunset from the water. Lake Chapala is home to thousands of American and Canadian retirees. (It is actually one of the most popular retirement destinations in Mexico).
The culture and atmosphere in some areas are markedly different from what you would expect to see in Mexico. For an authentic local experience, treat yourself to a Mexican breakfast at one of the stalls in the small Mercado by Plaza Principal de Chapala, just off Lopez Costilla.
Take a day trip out to Tequila
The Pueblo Magico of Tequila is one of the most popular day trips that you can take from Guadalajara. As the name suggests, the town is famous for being the birthplace of Tequila.
Just like champagne in the namesake Champagne region of France, Tequila can only be produced in this part of Mexico. Here, you can participate in a distillery tour to learn the process of making the beverage and its journey from agave plant to finished product.
The Jose Cuervo distillery is arguably one of the most famous in the region. However, it is equally as enjoyable to organize tastings with smaller, independent producers.
There is even a tequila express train that takes you on an 11-hour journey through the state of Jalisco (starting in Guadalajara and ending in Tequila). For $166 USD per person, you can enjoy an onboard tasting, all-you-can-drink tequila, and delicious tequila-infused co*cktails and Mexican drinks.
Recommended Tequila tours
Several reputable local tour companies offer day trips and excursions to Tequila. Many of these tours offer to pick up and drop off at your hotel and include tastings at numerous distilleries.
Opting to do a tour takes a lot of the hassle out of figuring out how to get from A to B or having to take the long public bus journey from Guadalajara to Tequila. Some of the most reputable Tequila tours are detailed below for your consideration.
Be sure to reserve your place online in advance to avoid disappointment!
- From Guadalajara: Jose Cuervo Distillery and Tequila town tour
- Tequila tour and tequila tasting in a hacienda
- From Guadalajara: Tequila town and cantarito making tour
- Horseback riding along the Tequila route with tastings
- From Guadalajara: Pyramids and Jose Cuervo Tequila tour
Stroll around the Rotonda de Los Jaliscienses Ilustres
Central Guadalajara is home to several small squares and plazas that make great places to sit with a coffee and a good book as you people-watch. In particular, look out for the Rotonda de Los Jaliscienses Ilustres.
It is located close to the Guadalajara cathedral on Av. Fray Antonio Alcalde 108. The square is home to a circular colonnaded structure that is surrounded by busts of notable historic figures from Guadalajara.
Nearby, you can also check out the Plaza de Armas and the Plaza de la Liberación. The latter is usually home to street vendors selling all manner of weird and wonderful handicrafts, fabrics, scarves, and purses.
Catch a show at the charrería
The Mexican charrería is often regarded as being the national sport of Mexico with roots in Guadalajara and the state of Jalisco. It is essentially the Mexican answer to the rodeo.
The sporting tradition was recognized by UNESCO as being an ¨Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity¨ in 2016. If you attend, you can expect to see the charros participate in different games and contests that involve lassoing horses and bulls.
The charrería was not created by the indigenous people of Mexico, but by the Spanish colonizers in the 16th century. The Spanish were tasked with raising horses and managing farms in “New” Spain.
To pass the time in rural parts of Mexico, they invented games and contests which developed into the Mexican Charreria as it is today. Contests were usually between different haciendas.
When the haciendas lost their importance and started to close down following the Mexican Revolution, the 1921 Asociación Nacional de Charros was developed to protect the Charreria traditions. Today, many charrerias are free to attend.
Going to a show means having the chance to sample various Mexican street foods and see locals in traditional dress for the occasion. The Lienzo Charro Ignacio Zermeño Padilla, the Campo Charro Jalisco, and the Lienzo Charro Nito Aceves are some of the best venues in town.
Hang out in a traditional cantina
Visiting a traditional cantina is a quintessential experience that you need to have in Mexico. Some of these old-fashioned bars, with their swinging saloon doors and rustic interiors, are almost like something out of a movie set.
Since Guadalajara is Mexico’s second-largest city, it makes sense that there would be some incredible cantinas here. Pull up a stool right at the bar and order yourself a beer or a michelada.
With every drink you buy, you will be given a selection of botanas. These are small tapas-style dishes that are usually served for free.
You can expect to see things like chips and guac, spiced sausages, and empanadas. La Fuente (C. Pino Suárez 78) is one of the most iconic Guadalajara cantinas.
It first opened its doors back in 1921 and has delighted patrons ever since. Look out for the rusty old pushbike mounted above the bar.
It was confiscated from a local who couldn’t pay his bar tab several decades ago and has been a fixture of the bar ever since. Nearby, don’t miss La Iberia (C. Alameda 9, El Retiro).
This is the oldest cantina in Guadalajara and dates back to 1870. Most people in Mexican cantinas love to hang out and drink beers but this place has its own signature co*cktail.
Their La Batanga de Doña Chela is a tasty but potent mix of tequila, aguardiente, vodka, coca cola, lime, and mint. Phew.
Check out a beautiful Italian church
Several gorgeous Catholic churches are scattered throughout Guadalajara. They are a sight to behold, even if you are not a religious person.
One that is particularly unique is the Templo Expiatorio del Santísimo Sacramento (C. Manuel López Cotilla 935). It is widely regarded as being the greatest work of its kind in Mexico.
Construction on the church began in 1897 and was completed in 1911. It was designed by Italian architect Adamo Boari who had won a contest hosted by Pedro Loza y Pardavé, the archbishop of the city.
The interiors boast Italian frescoes and French stained glass windows. The mosaics on display were created at the Vatican itself, while the clocks were designed by German engineers.
Mass is celebrated here on a Sunday, and food and dancing take place in and outside of the church. Anyone is welcome to stop by and participate, as long as you are respectful.
Take a walking tour
Opting to take a walking tour is a great way to get your bearings in a new city. This is one of the best things to do in Guadalajara at the start of your trip.
Touring with a local enables you to scratch deeper beneath the surface of the places you visit. You will gain more information and context to the various buildings and neighborhoods you see, and discover places that you may not have found independently.
Better yet, you have a local ¨expert¨ on hand to ask for recommendations on the best places to eat, drink, hang out, etc. There are several free walking tours that take you around Guadalajara every day.
There are also plenty of paid tours to choose from that focus on a particular aspect of the culture. E.g. street food tours, night tours, tequila tasting tours, etc.
Recommended Guadalajara walking tours
A selection of reputable Guadalajara tours is detailed below for your consideration. Book online in advance to secure your place!
Tour the Palacio de Gobierno del Estado de Jalisco.
The Palacio de Gobierno del Estado de Jalisco is one of the most notable structures in the historic center of Guadalajara. It dates back to 1750 and is the location where several historic Mexican leaders passed various laws.
It is possible to take a tour of the building and learn about its contribution to local and national history. Several socialist-realist murals by José Clemente Orozco are also found inside the building.
Visit the Guachimontones archeological site
The Zona Arqueológica Teuchitlán o Guachimontones is often overlooked from most Guadalajara itineraries but it is well worth a day of your time, particularly if you are interested in history. This ancient city was inhabited by the Teuchitlán people.
Rituals would be performed here in honor of Ehecatl, the god of wind. 10 structures encircle a central pyramid and Guachimontones is the only archeological site in the world to have been built in near-perfect concentric circles.
There is a small museum on site that provides more background info on the site and contains a number of artifacts and jewelry items recovered from the area. Guachimontones sits 40km west of Guadalajara.
It is possible to take a bus from central Guadalajara to Teuchitlán village for 120 pesos ($6.20). From there, you can take a taxi to the ruins.
Recommended Guachimontones tours
If you prefer not to deal with the hassle of taking public transport, you can also take a private or guided tour. A number of reputable Guachimontones tours are shortlisted below. Get them while they’re hot!
- Guachimontones pyramids full-day tour
- Guachimontones pyramids and Jose Cuervo tequila tour
- Tour of Guachimontones and Hacienda Labor de Rivera
- Tour of Guachimontones and Hacienda del Carmen tour
See a performance at the Teatro Degollado
The Teatro Degollado is a gorgeous neoclassical Mexican theatre that was designed by Jacobo Gálvez in 1856. At that time, it was a new and exciting concept to have a theater and venue to see the opera in Jalisco.
Today, Teatro Degollado is one of the best-preserved theatres in Latin America. The various sculptures throughout the premises are the works of Italian artists such as Hugo Andres Testolini Deza.
Meanwhile, the interior frescoes were designed by Jalisco painters Jacobo Galvez, Gerardo Suarez, and Carlos Villaseñor. The interior is modeled on the design of the iconic Teatro Della Scala in Milan.
At the very least, you can stop by the theater briefly while exploring the center of Guadalajara. Better yet, try and get tickets to see a show here. Various ballets, operatic performances, classical music concerts, and dance shows are hosted here throughout the year.
Cycle through the city on a Sunday morning
Every Sunday from 8 am until 2 pm, many of the main roads around the center of Guadalajara are closed to traffic. Bicycle rental shops and vendors pop up along Av Juárez and people take to the streets to cycle, rollerblade, jog and walk their dogs.
This is a nice opportunity to see the city and local life without contending with the terrible traffic and congestion that usually plagues the central streets. The event links the six metropolitan areas: Zapopan, Guadalajara central, Tlaquepaque, Tonala, Tlajomulco, and El Salto.
Catch a Lucha Libre Mexican wrestling game
Lucha Libre is a Mexican form of freestyle wrestling. Its rules are somewhat similar to those found in WWE, and the sport is perhaps best recognized for its colorful masks. (Which make great souvenirs from Mexico).
You can stop by the Arena Coliseo in Guadalajara to catch a match during your time in the city. Even if you care very little about the sport, the atmosphere of being in the arena, cheering on the luchardores (wrestlers) with an ice-cold Mexican beer in hand, is second to none.
Fights usually take place on Tuesdays and Sundays and tickets can be purchased for between 60 and 150 pesos. (Circa $3 – $7.70).
Corona Market
Mercado corona is one of the most important and bustling markets in downtown Guadalajara. It is situated at the intersection of Calle Santa Monica and Avenida Hidalgo and its crowded maze of vendors sells everything from homemade tamales and torta ahogadas, to plants, cigars, and knick-knacks.
The covered market is a great place to stop for an affordable street food lunch, and it is slightly less daunting to explore than the nearby San Juan de Dios market. You can find delicious tacos here for as little as 15-20 pesos a piece.
Explore the Mercado San Juan de Dios
The Mercado San Juan de Dios (C. Dionisio Rodríguez 52) is not only the largest market in Mexico, but it is also the largest covered market in Latin America. More than 3,000 vendors set up shop here every single day, and the market has been a Guadalajara institution for centuries.
The first Mercado San Juan de Dios was built here in 1888 by Pedro Castellanos. It was later demolished, and the current structure (which has existed since the 1950s) was built in its place.
The market takes its name from the temple it is located next to. It is spread across three floors and you can find every item imaginable here.
Mexican candies, artisanal goods, street food items, clothing items, fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and meats, and basically every item you can think of, is on sale here. Since the market is located in a part of Guadalajara that is a little rough around the edges, people are often concerned about safety here.
Keep an eye on your belongings at all times and be aware of your surroundings. Guadalajara is safe as long as you take precautions.
Check out the street art at Ajijic
Ajijic is a small town in Jalisco, close to Lake Chapala and set against the backdrop of the Sierra Madre mountains. Ajijic is a Mexican pueblo magico and it is quickly becoming known for its colorful street art and eclectic murals created by artists from across Jalisco.
The town, like Chapala, has a large population of western expats so the culture here is slightly different from that which you would expect to find in other parts of Jalisco. If you enjoy street art, you should keep an eye out for the “Wall of the Muertos¨ (wall of the dead).
This controversial, sculpted wall runs alongside a local primary school and its carved 3D skulls honor the lives of those who once lived in Ajijic. Activities in Ajijic are few, but it’s a nice place to spend half a day.
You can take a bus from Guadalajara to Ajijic. Then, take the same bus from Ajijic to Lake Chapala and enjoy the lake before returning to the capital.
Stop by Chapalita
Colonia Americana is a wonderful Guadalajara neighborhood that is frequented by artsy types and intellectuals. The only problem with it is that it has started to become gentrified.
So, if you are looking for an alternative district with the same charm as Colonia Americana but with a more authentic Mexican vibe, head to Chapalita. The upscale bars, restaurants, and cafes here serve all manner of local and international fare.
For exquisite steaks and marinated meat dishes, head to La Bocha Chapalita (Av Guadalupe 1144), an incredible local Argentinian restaurant. For wine and charcuterie tasting, head to Cru Wine & Deli (Av. Tepeyac 1042 E).
The Jardín del Arte de la Glorieta Chapalita often hosts brass bands and live musicians that entertain locals for free. The garden, as the name suggests, has become locally renowned for the artists that sell their paintings and sculptures here.
If you stop by in the evenings or on weekends, you will find many interesting handicrafts for sale. Chapalita is relatively safe and walkable, so you can enjoy exploring on foot. If you are wondering where to stay in Guadalajara, Chapalita is a good choice.
Hike to the viewpoints at Parque Mirador
Parque Mirador is a beautiful slice of peace and tranquility in the middle of the concrete jungle. It is situated just north of the city center and the hiking trail to the highest point of the park offers spectacular views over the Barranca de Oblatos canyon.
Several different viewpoints and walking trails weave through the natural scenery. Pack a flask of coffee and a picnic, and enjoy al fresco dining with a view, or dine in at the Mirador restaurant.
Visit Vincente Fernandez’s ranch
If you are well-versed in Mexican culture and music, Vincente Fernandez needs no introduction. Fernandez was born and raised in Guadalajara and was widely known for being one of the best musicians in Mexican history.
He owned a ranch in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga known as ¨Los Tres Potrillos¨ where he was buried after his death in 2021. Today, it is possible to visit the ranch, which is home to a restaurant serving traditional Jaliscan food, and the largest Mexican cowboy store in the country.
Check out the exhibits at the MUSA Museum of the Arts
Several museums are scattered around Guadalajara. Arguably one of the most interesting is the MUSA Museum of the Arts.
The museum and its exhibits are housed inside a former University of Guadalajara building. Here, you will find more than 100 art pieces created by international and Mexican artists. This includes the likes of José Clemente Orozco, Carlos Vargas Pons, and Javier Campos Cabello.
Take an electric carriage ride around the city
A nice way to see the best things to do in Guadalajara in a short space of time is to take an electric carriage ride around the city. Horse-drawn carriages are being phased out, and electric carriages are a new, more ethical alternative.
You will see chauffeurs standing beside the carriages in Plaza Guadalajara. Its possible to either reserve one in advance online, or to wander up to a driver on arrival.
Spend a few days in Mazamitla
Mazamitla is a charming Mexican town located three hours south of Guadalajara, just past Lake Chapala. For Mexicans, it is a great place to get back to nature for a few days at the weekend.
Its adorable center is characterized by narrow cobbled streets and passageways, whitewashed adobe houses, tiled gable roofs, and historic churches on every street corner. On an international scale, Mazamitla is something of an unknown.
If you have ample time to spare in Jalisco, you may want to consider renting a quaint wooden cabin and heading here for the weekend. This is particularly enjoyable during the winter months when the colder weather warrants lighting a log fire and cozying up by the flames.
From here you can head out to the El Salto Waterfall, conquer some of the hiking trails in the region, take a horseback riding class, or rent an ATV and tour through the local villages.
Experience the best of Guadalajara’s restaurant scene
Mexico City may be considered the best foodie destination for gourmands in Mexico but Guadalajara certainly doesn’t disappoint. There is something for everyone here – from incredible street food eats to fine dining.
Chapalita and Colonia Americana are arguably the best neighborhoods to venture to if you are looking for something a little more upscale. Restaurante Alcalde (Av. México 2903) serves elevated Mexican cuisine with a modern twist.
Locals love to venture here for special occasions. It is possible to participate in an 11-course tasting menu for 1900 pesos per person ($98). The menu changes frequently throughout the year depending on what is in season and is the brainchild of Executive Chef Ruan Paco.
Restaurante Allium (C. Manuel López Cotilla 1752) is a farm-to-table concept eatery by chef Adolfo Galnares who studied at the Culinary Institute of America in NYC. The restaurant prides itself on working with small producers, and the menu is forever changing.
The Huitlacoche risotto, the smoked beets, and the cheese plate ¨Quesart¨ from Atotonilco are nice dishes to start with. If you enjoy seafood, you can indulge in the catch of the day served with sikil pak, bagna cauda, or smoked tomato.
FAQs about the best things to do in Guadalajara
Do you have any more burning questions about the best things to do in Guadalajara or planning a visit to the city in general? Hopefully, you will find the answers you are searching for below.
Is Guadalajara worth visiting?
Guadalajara is well worth visiting. There is plenty to do in the city to warrant spending 3-4 days here.
You may also want to stay in Guadalajara as a base for exploring the wider region of Jalisco and some of the small villages nearby. You can also travel onwards from Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta and Talpa de Allende, Mascota, and San Sebastián del Oeste.
What is Guadalajara best known for?
Guadalajara is perhaps best known for being the home of mariachi, Mexican charreada, and tequila. From a tourist perspective, the city offers many historical buildings and museums.
Is Guadalajara a walkable city?
It is very easy to explore the majority of Guadalajara on foot. The only thing to remember is that this is still a Latin American city, so you cannot just walk aimlessly anywhere.
You can walk through the historic center towards Colonia Americana for instance. And the central part of Tlaquepaque is safe.
However, you should be careful about wandering into the eastern part of Guadalajara, past the San Juan de Dios market. The El Cerro del Cuatro area of Tlaquepaque should be avoided and Colonia del Fresno is not safe.
Which is better? Guadalajara or Mexico City?
Guadalajara and Mexico City are both wonderful in their own way. Mexico City is obviously the larger of the two, and its various neighborhoods and districts are so huge they are like individual villages in themselves.
For instance, it will take you an entire day to explore Chapultapec park and Polanco, another day to see Coyoacan, etc. If you spend a week in Mexico City, you feel as though you have barely scratched beneath the surface.
Meanwhile, 3-4 days in Guadalajara is enough to get an initial feel for the Jalisco capital. It depends on how much you like big cities!
Mexico City has the better museums of the two, and its Museo Nacional de Antropología is the most important in the country. The Teotihuacan ruins make a great day trip from Mexico City, whereas Guadalajara is closer to Jaliscos pueblo magicos.
