Question

What are some very nice things to see in Centro Historico Guadalajara? Museums, Opera, Orchestra, etc.?

Answer 1

Go to the Parian of San Pedro Tlaquepaque.

That is where Mariachi was alleged to have originated- I could be wrong, but I am right about it being a magical evening if you go there- the music, the food, and the DRINKS!!!!!!!

I saw several americans there. The drinks are the size of your head and you're treated to a musical show case in an old plaza or "square" where you are under the stars.

Answer 2

well dude, I just got here last night and I am going to be here for a month, so far I have just been exploring. When I find out more I will tell you.

Are you going to guadalajara or are you here?

Answer 3

Even if you're not a very religious person, the cathedral is a wonderful place to visit, and there's plenty of things to do downtown.  First things first, I would definetly recommend riding a "calandria" or horse drawn buggy, which will take you through a tour of downtown.  There's a couple of museums also worth checking out, Museo Regional de Guadalajara, where they offer a very well guided tour and explanation of Guadalajara's history.  There's plenty of stores, and I enjoy window shopping.  And not to mention the food, I would highly recommend you visit "Las Nueve Esquinas" excellent food.  I have family that's there, and lived there and went to school there for quite a few years, and it is a very beautiful city, plenty of things to see and do.  Love it there, I try to visit once or twice  a year.  Hope this helps!!

Try the tourist office at Morelos 102 first.  Friendly English speaking staff there can offer lots of suggestions.While you're there, pick up a Guadalajara Weekly.
