First Walk Through Guanajuato Capital

By Guanajuato Info editors · May 5, 2026

Start in Jardín de la Unión, then move toward Teatro Juárez, Plaza de la Paz, the basilica, and the university steps. From there, choose one short climb or the funicular to El Pípila for the city view. This first route keeps the walk compact while showing the layers that make Guanajuato feel different: plazas, stairs, tunnels, and bright hillside houses.
