Guadalajara, Mexico Holiday Property Rentals
If you want to discover some great culture during your holiday to Mexico, you will certainly enjoy Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city.
This area is rich in beautiful architecture, historical buildings and places of interest, and also has some great visitor attractions, shops and delicious food!
You also might like to take a holiday property rental here, so you can make the most of your stay in Guadalajara, which is the capital city of the state of Jalisco in Mexico.
Not surprisingly, there is plenty to see and do in this amazing city, with some definite must-sees.
The beautiful Guadalajara Cathedral is well worth a visit, as is Belen Cemetery, which has been turned into a museum. If you are keen on art, then make sure you see the superb Mexican murals by Jose Clemente Orozco at the Cabañas Cultural Institute, and also the Government Palace, which houses some fantastic murals by Jose Clemente Orozco, too.
There are also some family-friendly attractions in the area. There's Guadalajara Zoo, Selva Mágica (an amusement park near the zoo) and Guadalajara Planetarium and Science Centre, which the kids will appreciate.
If you're looking to see the sights of Guadalajara in a different way, you can take a ride in a horse drawn carriage! You can just sit back, enjoy the views and soak up the atmosphere of the city.
If you want to take a break from the sightseeing, why not visit Guadalajara's Metropolitan Park, for example? It's an ideal spot to sit and enjoy a picnic.
During your self catering holiday in Mexico, you will probably want to dine at a local restaurant and sample some traditional Mexican cuisine. There's a good choice of restaurants here too.
Those who enjoy shopping also won't be disappointed in this city, as there is an excellent range of shops on offer around here. If you're looking for a handcrafted gift to take home, you should be able to find it here!
But for serious shopaholics, there's Tlaquepaque, a suburb of Guadalajara. You will be spoilt for choice with the amazing selection of shops here. If you're in no hurry and you love shopping, you may want to spend a day or more here!
With so much to see and do here, you probably won't need to explore anywhere outside of the city. However, if time allows, there are some great places you can visit, which are in easy reach of Guadalajara.
One exciting attraction is the Tequila Express Tour. The fun starts in Guadalajara, where you catch a train to Amatitan. You can enjoy the famous Mexican drink Tequila, refreshments, snacks and music throughout the journey as you pass some beautiful countryside along the way. After arriving in Amatitan, you board a bus to Hacienda San José del Refugio, home of Herradura Tequila, for a tour. This is followed by a buffet lunch.
Other places which you might also want to visit from Guadalajara are Chapala (and Lake Chapala, Mexico's largest lake!) and Ajijic. Why not discover the beauty of this area and enjoy a day trip or even a longer stay?
Guadalajara is an ideal holiday destination, whatever your age and taste. Whether you're planning a relaxing break, a holiday rich in culture or a family vacation, you will have an enjoyable time in this amazing city and its surrounding area!
