More About Guanajuato: Having traveled extensively in Mexico, Guanajuato is our favorite city, and high on our list of favorite cities worldwide. It is very European and exceptionally safe with lots of pedestrian only streets, parks, outdoor cafes, festivals, a major university, a symphony orchestra, great art museums, night clubs, restaurants, monuments, etc. Ideally situated in the central highlands, Guanajuato is two hours from beautiful Spanish colonial cities of Queretaro or Zacatecas, and approximately four hours by bus to either Mexico City or Guadalajara. Guanajuato is built in a bowl in the mountains with steep streets and labyrinthine, colorful alleyways lacing the hill sides. GTO has exquisite architecture and a venerable history having been the richest city in Mexico for more than two centuries. Exploring the narrow, rambling alleys, or 'callejones' as they are known, you will discover myriad hidden views across the city with it's classic Spanish colon.
