2025 Guadalajara Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

🌞Guadalajara is the second largest city in Mexico. It is well known as the Holy Land of Tequila, but it is actually also an important technology and financial center. The entire city gives you the illusion of being in Europe. It is very beautiful. 🍷Visiting a winery is of course an essential part of the itinerary. This time I spent a lot of money to join a one-day tour of La Rojena tequila. It is said to be one of the oldest tequila wineries in Central and South America. It has also recently launched tequila. Train, isn’t it cool to take a train directly and take you deep into the agave fields? 🌞From the starting point, a tuk-tuk took us to the winery to visit the agave field. The agave is a bit like a pineapple that is ten times larger🍍. It grows on the ground, but after distillation and coking, it will produce a sweet aroma of alcohol. Along the way, there are A band led the way playing lively songs, which was very interesting Of course, at the end of the tour, you will taste various tequilas, drink and dance with the tourists in the same group to the sound of the band's guitar, and then change dance partners. I was so drunk that I drank so hard that everyone at noon was confused. 🌞In the afternoon, visit La Rojena Winery, also called Crow Winery in Taiwan because of its crow logo. In addition to introducing the history of the winery, the winemaking process, various tools and video introductions, after the end, one person can choose a favorite wine and taste it slowly in the wine tasting area❤️ When you come to Mexico, it is highly recommended to spend two days visiting this charming city, and then spend one day experiencing the beauty of agave. This kind of fiery passion can only be found in Mexico🇲🇽! #tequila #Guadalajara # Agave #Larojena #Guadalajara

Restaurant Pujol in Mexico City is not only one of the best restaurants in Mexico, it is one of the best in the world. Chef Enrique Olvera has been cooking traditional Mexican dishes and ingredients in a modern way, sending his restaurant into the top 10 best restaurants of the world and a feature on Chef's Table. You can opt for a seven course lunch or dinner, but you'll get much more than that as there are many extra little dishes that are not on the menu. For example you will always start with a young corn cob covered in ants and will end the meal with a traditional dessert of churros. His most famous fish, however, is his mole sauce that has been cooking for years, yes years. It really is one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten.

#voyagevibes Guadalajara Cathedral, the oldest cathedral in Guadalajara. It is characterised by a well-balanced combination of three architectural styles: Baroque, Neoclassical, and Gothic. Built in 1541, it has been restored many times by fires and earthquakes, resulting in what it is today's complex and beautiful cathedral. Access - About 22 minutes by car from Don Miguel Idalgo y Costilla International Airport

《Templo Expiatorio del Santisimo》Sacramento C. Manuel Lopez Cotilla 935, Col Americana, Americana, 44160 Guadalajara, Jal., Mexico. The beauty of Neo-Gothic architecture. Beautiful windows, high ceilings, chandeliers, well-maintained, and impressive architecture. A perfect place to spend friendly, quiet, and relaxing time. Worth a visit.

Unexpected Day at Hospicio Cabañas Art Museum & A Sweet Surprise 🌟 2024.08.16 Originally our trip today was for market inspection, but after watching the first day of the exhibition, the bosses decided that the market here was not suitable for us, so we unexpectedly had free time today. In the morning, I decided to visit the Hospicio Cabañas Art Museum in the city center. The ticket for foreigners is only 80 Peso (about NT$140), which can be paid with cash and credit card. I stayed there for almost 3 hours and felt that the ticket was absolutely worth it! If your bags are large, you can store them in their lockers for free. It is recommended to bring small bags, otherwise you will worry about having to hold your wallet and mobile phone in your hands all the time. We arrived at about 10:30 in the morning, and there were very few people at that time. Basically, there were not many people when visiting the exhibition. Later, as it approached 12 noon, the crowd gradually increased, but in fact, compared with art galleries or museums in Europe, the crowd here is really relatively small! The main mural space shocked me as soon as I walked in! There is actually a QR code underneath the mural that will give an English explanation of the painting after scanning, but listening to it this way is quite time-consuming, so I decided to stay until 12:30 to listen to the English tour. There are English guided tours every day at 12:30 and 14:30. The tour guide's explanations were very clear, without a Spanish accent, allowing us to gain an in-depth understanding of the story of this historic building and murals. It is worth mentioning that there are murals by artist José Clemente Orozco, which are really amazing. The neoclassical style of the building itself, plus the murals covering the history, conquest, religion and humanity of Mexico, make people immersed in it. The building is even listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour guide also mentioned some social problems faced by Mexico today, such as long working hours but lack of social security, which made me reflect on the reality of life in Mexico. For example, local commodity prices, whether it is stationery, furniture or even electronic products, are much more expensive than in Taiwan, but the locals do not have the corresponding income, which makes me feel that life is quite stressful. Although the topic this time is a bit deviated from the travel itself, for me, chatting with local people about life is the most meaningful part of the trip. Traveling is not just about enjoying the scenery, but also about understanding the lives and challenges of local people. I had lunch in the afternoon and stayed in the restaurant chatting until four o'clock in the afternoon, then walked around in silence and leisurely on the streets of the old city. We also made a special discovery on the way – a pink nougat! This is completely different from the soft nougat I had in Taiwan and the hard nougat I bought in Middle Eastern countries. We noticed this stall because there were so many bees around it, and we found out that the way they eat it is to shave the nougat into thin slices, then add lime juice and chili powder, and bite into it. It tastes sour, sweet, salty, and spicy. , is simply the epitome of all tastes of life, impressive! 🌶️🍋🍬 Tomorrow I start my real trip! This time I am going to Mexico City alone. I hope that the rest of the journey will be smooth and safe. 🥰✈️ #TravelDiaries #ArtAndCulture #Mexico #HospicioCabañas #TravelReflection #SweetSurprises #SoloTrip #localexperience

🌍 Mexico 🇲🇽Guadalajara Adventure: A Day of Food and Culture 2024/8/12 Explore the market and cultural district! We set out to explore another side of the city. Since the exchange rate at the airport was terrible, we decided to change money in the city. **I chose FOREIGN EXCHANGE CENTER WEST PEARL** The exchange point is near the church in the city center. The store is clean and large. The exchange rate is much better than that at the airport. You can exchange it for 1,780 pesos with 100 US dollars, which is 230 more than at the airport. Pesos, this feels like a better deal! After exchanging money, we walked about 10 minutes to **Mercado Libertad - San Juan de Dios**, which is the largest market in Guadalajara with a wide variety of products, ranging from handicrafts to daily necessities. My friends who were traveling with me started shopping like crazy, while I was busy looking for good-looking shot glass, haha! The lively atmosphere and dazzling variety of products in the market opened our eyes. In the afternoon, we took a taxi to the artistic **Tlaquepaque Centro**. The small shops here are super easy to browse, and every corner is filled with a strong artistic atmosphere. Many shops have clearly marked prices, so you don’t have to worry about being cheated, but you can still try your hand at bargaining. I bought some beautiful little souvenirs here and I am really satisfied. Afterwards, we took a short rest at the Internet celebrity restaurant **Restaurante Casa Luna**. This restaurant is beautifully decorated, has a great sense of space, and has a cozy atmosphere, perfect for sitting down with a drink and dessert. What was even more surprising was that we happened to encounter a live band playing and spent a leisurely two hours completely immersed in this beautiful afternoon. After that, we continued to walk around the streets of **Tlaquepaque** and enjoyed the unique charm here. We walked around until around 5pm. Although the sun was still very bright, we had not slept well in the past few days due to jet lag, so we decided to go back to the hotel early to rest. Guadalajara is a city full of surprises and charm, from the lively atmosphere of its markets to the artistic atmosphere of its cultural districts, which makes you want to visit again. This two-day trip not only allowed us to experience the local culture, but also indulged in food and shopping. If you have the chance to come back next time, you will definitely make Tlaquepaque a priority💕

When you come to GDL, you must visit Colonia Americana Voted the coolest community in the world this year😎 The buildings here are very historical It is recommended to dine here or have a drink and chat with friends in the evening🥂 To me, this neighborhood has the same visual feel as Taichung Museum of Art Greenway.
