Start your tour at the Plaza de Armas, which is surrounded by the Guadalajara Cathedral and the historic Government Palace. Be sure to stroll through the nearby Plaza de la Libertación to take a photo with the Guadalajara sign.
In the Government Palace you can find something very historical and cool. If you look at the clock, you will see a bullet hole made by Pancho Villa when he took the city of Guadalajara (amazing, right?)
From here you have easy access to several museums, such as the Guadalajara Regional Museum. You can also simply grab a coffee and stroll around the area.
2 – Take a walking tour in Guadalajara
While you can easily visit the historic center on your own, it is always more beneficial to get a local perspective on the city.

The meeting point is at the beautiful bandstand in the Plaza de Armas and the tour lasts about two hours. In addition to learning about the history and culture of Guadalajara, you’ll get solid recommendations from someone who knows the city and will probably end up making some new friends.

3 – What is "torta ahogada"?
Torta ahogada is a traditional Guadalajara sandwich made with birote bread, fried pork, and spicy tomato sauce, served "drowned." It costs R$12-25 and is perfect for curing a hangover.
This specialty is made with baguette-type bread (birote) and stuffed with fried pork, onion, radish, tomato sauce and pepper sauce.
If you don't like spicy food, you can order it with just the tomato sauce, but if you like to be adventurous with it... local gastronomyMix the two sauces together.
Pepper is usually very strong and that's why this is one of the main dishes to cure a hangover.
The first time I ate it was a bit strange, because I accidentally ordered it with just the hot sauce (I suffered). So, order it with just the tomato sauce and add the hot pepper little by little.

The size of the paintings is incredible, especially the one of Hidalgo, located on the main staircase.

Listen to authentic mariachis at the Plaza de los Mariachis at night. Hire a band for R$80-150 for 3 songs. Jalisco is the birthplace of mariachi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Perhaps no Mexican music is more famous than that played by mariachis. It is so important that it was even included on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage a few years ago.
Wherever you go in Mexico, the sounds of mariachis follow you, whether it's a small band on the beach or a full band (12 pieces) at a presidential inauguration ceremony.
Mariachis originate from Jalisco, so you're in the best place to enjoy this cultural attraction.
Head to Plaza de los Mariachis at night and hire a band to serenade you. Just make sure you come prepared with a few songs besides “La cucaracha.”
Want a suggestion for a song to ask for? Ask for “Mujeres Divinas”, it’s my favorite and they’ll love playing it!
Rent a car in Guadalajara

6 - What is Tlaquepaque and what can you buy there?
Tlaquepaque is a neighboring town famous for its hand-painted ceramics and Mexican handicrafts. It's a 15-minute drive from the center (Uber R$25-35). Shop at the Handicraft Market or individual stores.
If you're looking to take home some unique souvenirs from your trip to Mexico, be sure to head to nearby Tlaquepaque (try saying that three times fast).
Tlaquepaque is famous for its beautiful hand-painted pottery. In the Nahuatl language, the name means “place above the earth of clay.”
You can start at the Craft Market to get an idea of what's on offer, and then head out and visit more individual shops in the city.

Yes, it's definitely worth it! The Cabañas Institute has incredible murals by José Clemente Orozco, including "Hombre de Fuego". Admission: R$10 (free on Tuesdays). UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
One of the most interesting things to do in Guadalajara is a visit to the Instituto Cultural Cabañas.
It was founded in 1791 as a hospital/orphanage by the Bishop of Guadalajara to care for orphans, beggars and the sick, and is currently a cultural institution.
It is a beautiful neoclassical building with several courtyards and galleries to explore.
The incredible mural on the ceiling
The highlight of the visit is definitely seeing the incredible frescoes by Mexican artist José Clemente Orozco, including his famous work Hombre de Fuego (The Man of Fire).
It's closed on Mondays, but it's free to visit on Tuesdays. Otherwise, it costs about 10 reais to enter and if you want to take good photos, you'll have to shell out another 5 reais.
8 – How to get from Guadalajara to Tequila?
The city of Tequila is 60 km from Guadalajara (1 hour drive). Best option: full-day tour (R$ 250-350) including transportation, distillery, tasting, and lunch. Worth every penny!
Did you know that Mexico's most famous drink comes from a city with the same name? Not far from Guadalajara, you'll find the Mexican city of Tequila.
Taking a trip there to visit the agave fields and some of the distilleries is undoubtedly one of the coolest things to do in Guadalajara.
Discover the incredible Matices hotel
Next, you will visit Hacienda Cofradia, where the Armero Tequila factory is located. There you will learn how this famous drink is made step by step. But wait, the best is yet to come.
Inside the Cofradia Farm Also located there is one of Mexico's most original hotels, Matices, where the rooms are tequila barrels in the middle of an agave plantation (the place is truly incredible and you can stay there if you want).
A typical Mexican lunch and a tequila tasting class will also be offered, all washed down with Armero Tequila (one of the best in Mexico today).
The experience ends in the center of Tequila, in a bar (roof top) with a beautiful view of the city's cathedral).
It is an experience where you will learn everything about Mexico's most famous drink and you will also have the opportunity to connect with the real Mexico and its people.
9 – Go with the Red Pub Bus to Lucha Libre
One of the most fun things to do in Guadalajara is to take the Red Pub bus to the lucha libre fights.
Every Tuesday night, they use the British double-decker bus to go to the Arena Coliseo and watch the famous Mexican wrestling.
The tour includes round-trip transportation, your fight ticket, and even a free beer at the pub!
Even if you're not a huge wrestling fan like me, a night of lucha libre is a lot of fun.
You will have fun with the shouts of support and you will certainly laugh a lot with the laid-back way of the Mexicans who really like it (you can go without fear, it is very cool).
10 - Where to drink craft beer in Guadalajara?
The best craft brewery is Patan Ale House (Calle Morelos 1281). Local beer R$18-28, relaxed atmosphere, DJs on weekends. Forget Corona and Modelo – try the craft beers!
Forget Corona and Modelo when you are in Guadalajara and try some of the amazing “craft beers” (craft beers) in the city.
The craft beer scene is expanding rapidly here, which means you have plenty of options for a cold one!
One of my favorite places to enjoy a great craft beer in GDL is Patan Ale House.
They have tons of amazing local beers, a solid bar food menu, and even DJs playing on the weekends.
Address – Calle Morelos 1281
11 – Stroll through Mercado Libertad (San Juan de Dios)
San Juan de Dios is the largest covered market in Latin America, and wandering through its alleys and stalls is one of the coolest experiences to have in Guadalajara.
There are fresh produce, pirated DVDs, leather goods and even pets for sale here.
It's best to come to the market hungry, as there's a large food court with several local specialties, such as the aforementioned tortas ahogadas and delicious bowls of pozole.
It's quick, cheap, and very good – a winning combination. My recommendation is the tacos al pastor, which, besides being inexpensive, is considered one of the best dishes in the world (truly amazing).
12 – Attend a local festival (one of the most cultural things to do in Guadalajara)
There are different festivals happening throughout the year in Guadalajara, so be sure to check the calendar before planning your trip.
You might end up in town during a literary (FIL), film or music festival.
In Mexico's second largest city, there's always something going on.
One of the most famous and important events of the year at GDL is the International Mariachi Festival, which takes place at the end of August.
There are parades with mariachis from all over the world (believe it or not, there are even Japanese mariachis), free concerts in the square and gala shows with famous mariachis at the beautiful Teatro Degollado.
Speaking of theater, that brings us to the next point on our long list of things to do in Guadalajara.
13 – See a Show at Teatro Degollado
One of the most beautiful buildings in Guadalajara, the Teatro Degollado is a neoclassical theater in the historic center of the city.
To really admire the building, you'll have to go inside and see the incredible murals. It's free to enter when there's no program.
What a cool place to see a show!
There are regular performances at the theater, including operas and symphony orchestras. If you’re lucky, you might win tickets to one of the gala performances during the mariachi festival. I’ve been to several and recommend it if you get the chance.
If you go at another time, every Sunday there is a dance presentation that involves typical dances and costumes from all Mexican states, an opportunity to immerse yourself in Mexican culture.
14 – What is birria and where can you eat it in Guadalajara?
Birria is a traditional spicy stew made with goat or lamb, perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender. Best place: Birreria las 9 Esquinas (Calle Galeana 388). Price: R$ 35-55. A must-try dish!
Another dish that Guadalajara is famous for is birria – a spicy stew usually made with goat or lamb. The meat is perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender and I think it’s a must-try if you’re in the city.
While there are tons of places cooking up birria in Guadalajara, few places do it better than Birreria las 9 Esquinas.
You may have to wait for a table here, but it’s definitely worth trying this local specialty. This is a delicious dining option in Guadalajara.
Address – Galeana Street 388, Downtown
15 – Visit the Gardens at Colomos Park
Colomos Park is a large green space in the northwest part of the city.
It is full of walking trails and picnic areas, making it an excellent place to spend a leisurely afternoon outdoors.
A stroll here is a pleasant break from the hustle and bustle of the city center and is one of the most relaxing things to do in Guadalajara.
A peaceful stroll through the Japanese garden
The best part of taking a stroll through Colomos Park is being able to see the impressive Japanese gardens.
If you can ignore the guy playing reggaeton on his cell phone, it's almost like you're in Japan.
16 – Visit the round pyramids of Guachimontones
Not far from Guadalajara (about 45 minutes by car) you will find the incredible archaeological site known as The Guachimontones.
It dates back to the Teuchitlán tradition, a pre-Columbian society that existed from about 300 BC to 900 AD.
This site is notable for its circular stepped pyramids, which are found nowhere else in the world. Exploring this archaeological wonder is one of the most interesting things to do in Guadalajara and is well worth a day trip.
It costs 30 pesos to enter, or you can hire a guide on site for 200 pesos.
17 – Enjoy the 2026 World Cup at Akron Stadium
Football is a big part of Mexican culture, whether it's cheering during the 2026 World Cup or watching local teams compete in Liga MX. Guadalajara is home to two teams – Chivas and Atlas.
The first team plays at Estadio Akron (a beautiful stadium and a World Cup venue), while the latter hosts its games at Estadio Jalisco (one of the most traditional stadiums in Mexico).
Cheering for Atlas at a home game
The dynamic between the two teams is like that between the Yankees and the Mets. One wins all the time and the other, well, doesn't. If you want to watch one of the best teams in the league, jump on the Chivas bandwagon.
If you prefer to root for the underdog, throw your support behind Atlas. Either way, you're guaranteed a beer-soaked celebration (drinking is allowed in stadiums in Mexico) if the local heroes win.
18 – Party on Chapultepec Avenue
Guadalajara is a city that loves to party, and one of the best places to do so is Chapultepec Avenue. This trendy street is full of restaurants, bars and clubs and is fun any night of the week.
On the weekend, you’ll also find a bustling island market in the middle of the avenue. Local traders sell all sorts of goods here, and it’s a vibrant and colorful scene.
19 – Enjoy Sundays at Via Recreativa
If you’re wondering what to do in Guadalajara on a Sunday, the Avenida Recreativa is the place to be. Although the party goes on until late on Saturday night, Avenida Chapultepec transforms on Sunday morning.
Every week, from 8am to 21pm, half of the street is closed to all motorized vehicles. Joggers, cyclists, dog walkers and rollerbladers all take to the streets to enjoy a few hours free from the traffic that normally plagues the city.
You’ll also find volleyball games, group fitness classes, and several non-profit organizations along the avenue. If you’re in town on a Sunday morning, be sure to check it out.
20 – Take a walk in Mirador Park
For a great view of the canyon and some fresh air, head to Mirador Park for a short hike. After hiking to the viewpoint, you can sit down for lunch at El Mirador Restaurant.
It’s an easy and fun half-day trip out of the city. It’s a bit difficult to get there by public transportation, so it’s best to call an Uber. Try to arrange for them to drop you off and pick you up a few hours later.
21 – How to get to Lake Chapala from Guadalajara?
Lake Chapala is a 1-hour drive (60 km) south of Guadalajara. Go by bus (R$ 15-25, from the Antiga Central Camionera terminal) or Uber (R$ 150-200 round trip). Visit Chapala and Ajijic on the same trip.
Located about an hour's drive south of the city is Lake Chapala, the largest freshwater lake in all of Mexico. There are several different towns along the shore of the lake that you can visit, such as Chapala and Ajijic.
Thanks to its moderate climate and beautiful scenery, Lake Chapala is also a favorite of expats and retirees (many Americans and Canadians live here).
The lake is a very popular place for locals to visit on weekends and holidays. As such, it is best to visit during the week if possible.
Enjoy a stroll along the lake’s malecón (boardwalk) or take a short boat ride to Alacrán Island. If you have a few days to spare, I recommend staying for a night or two (highly recommended to soak up the vibe).
As you can see, Guadalajara is a city that has a lot to offer potential travelers. It has all the advantages of a big city.
For example, there is amazing things to do in mexico city, however, Guadalajara is much smaller and easier to get around than the capital.
22 – Discover the wonders of Zapopan
Zapopan is a city right next to Guadalajara, so close that not even the locals know when they are in Zapopan or Guadalajara.
Visiting the center of Zapopan is a must-see, as the city has a beautiful cathedral and a multitude of bars and restaurants in the surrounding area.
I recommend a stroll at the end of the day and then dinner at one of the excellent restaurants there.
A good option with a wonderful view of the Zapopan Arches is the Greek restaurant Agios Aggelos. It is the best Greek restaurant in Guadalajara and Zapopan and in addition to the food, the atmosphere is spectacular.
But don't worry, if you want to indulge in Mexican cuisine, you'll find plenty of options right next to each other.
Candela Cafe in Zapopan
This is a very local tip and one of my favorite restaurants in Zapopan. Café Candela has a very cool atmosphere with trees between its tables and offers a very varied menu (the pizza is amazing), as well as good drinks and cold beer and a DJ playing lounge music all night long.
The last tip: Get there before 20pm, as the place fills up quickly and people stay inside for hours.
Address - Javier Mina 183, Zapopan

FAQ
Yes, Brazilians need a visa to enter Mexico. Since 2022, you need to obtain a physical visa at the Mexican Embassy (Brasília) or consulates (São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro). But there are exceptions! If you have a valid US, Canadian, Japanese, UK, or Schengen Area visa, you do not need a Mexican visa. The same applies if you have permanent residency in these countries. The good news is that from February 2026, the visa will be obtainable online!
Yes, Guadalajara is considered safe for tourists, especially in the Historic Center, Zapopan, and Chapultepec Avenue. It's much quieter than other large Mexican cities. Just take basic precautions: don't walk alone late at night in deserted places, use Uber instead of street taxis, don't flaunt expensive cell phones and valuables, and keep an eye on your belongings in crowded places. These are the same precautions you would take in any large city.
Ideally, you should spend 3 to 5 days there. Two days is enough to see the basics of the historic center. With 3-4 days you can explore the city at a leisurely pace and visit Tlaquepaque and Zapopan. If you have 5-7 days, you can enjoy incredible excursions to surrounding areas like Tequila, Lake Chapala, and the Guachimontones pyramids.
The best time to visit is spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November). The weather is perfect for sightseeing, with temperatures between 20-25°C and sunny days. Summer (June to August) is hotter and rainier, but it has several great festivals. Winter is cool but still pleasant. If you can, go in October for the Book Fair or at the end of August for the Mariachi Festival!
There are no direct flights from Brazil. You will have a connection, usually in Mexico City with LATAM or Aeroméxico (another 45-minute domestic flight). Other options are connections in the USA (Houston, Dallas) or in Central America. From Mexico City to Guadalajara you can also go by bus (7 hours with ETN, very comfortable) or car (6 hours).
The historic center is easily walkable. For other places, use Uber or DiDi – they are safe and inexpensive. There's also a tourist bus that costs around 130 pesos per day and passes through Guadalajara, Tlaquepaque, Zapopan, and Tonalá. The light rail (Tren Ligero) works well, but be careful with your belongings. Official taxis are OK, but prefer ride-sharing apps.
The currency is the Mexican Peso. You can find Brazilian Reais at exchange bureaus in Guadalajara, and the exchange rate is usually better than in Brazil! Bring some cash for markets and street food. International credit cards are accepted in most places. Guadalajara is cheaper than Mexico City and much more affordable than Cancun.
Don't miss the torta ahogada – the city's typical sandwich "drowned" in sauce (be careful with the chili!). Birria is another must-try dish, a super flavorful meat stew. Also try the tacos al pastor, pozole and, of course, tequila! Try the cantarito, a tequila drink served in a clay pitcher that is quintessentially Jalisco. The best places are Mercado Libertad (San Juan de Dios) and Birreria las 9 Esquinas.
It's not mandatory, but it's highly recommended! Private hospitals in Mexico are expensive. Travel insurance covers medical emergencies, lost luggage, and flight cancellations. It's well worth it for the peace of mind.
No! Always drink bottled water. You can even use it to brush your teeth if you want to be extra cautious. But you can eat street food without worry! Choose busy stalls and you'll be happy. Just be careful with the chili peppers – if you're not used to them, go easy and ask for "sin picante" (without spice) or add them little by little. Mexicans love hot chili peppers! Bonus: The people of Guadalajara love Brazilians because of the 70 and 86 World Cups, when the national team stayed there. You'll be very well received!
