Guanajuato City Guide 2017-18

+ Go to the Theatre: There are a couple of theatres in town with Teatro Principal having performances and events weekly, typically on Fridays during the months of February through June. The symphony is fabulous and attendees enjoy two hours of incredible music. If you are wondering what to do for date night in Guanajuato, this is it. + Visit, The Alley of The Kiss: The name of this famous alleyway comes from an old folk tale. Apparently, two young people lived across the alley from each other and although the girl’s father

forbade their relationship, they were in love and continued to see one another. + Wander through Diego Rivera’s Home: Diego Rivera was Frida Kahlo’s husband and a famous artist in Mexico. His home has now been turned into a museum/art gallery and you can wander through and take a glimpse into the rooms of his actual home – which are still set up with furniture. In order to turn the home into an art gallery, the house has undergone additions. In addition to Rivera’s work, other modern artists also have pieces here.

+ Ride the Funicular: The funicular is a tram-car pulled by a cable, which takes you up the side of the mountain. It’s kind of like an escalator, which is great as the mountainside is quite steep. Once at the top, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views over the colorful city of Guanajuato, as well as an up-close view of the statue of Pipila, a local hero.
