Guanajuato Travel and Tourism Guide

Guanajuato, Guanajuato. There's a special mistique about exotic towns with exotic names, and this old silver mining town has plenty of that mistique. Guanajuato is a cultural treasure trove, with an excellent philharmonic orchestra (seats are quite cheap, too), a festival of cervantinas, great universities, night-time tours through the little callejones with groups of instrument-toting students, several neat local museums, great food and quiet cafes throughout the town, and it's a beautiful place to boot!

the central part of the town is squeezed between steep mountainsides, and as a result the streets are usually constrained into narrow, winding one-way callejones, and several are underground, or steep flights of stairs. As a result, there are few better places to walk around and get lost than Guanajuato.
