Guanajuato is so rich in cultural and historical heritage that the city itself could be described as an outdoor museum. Within the city, you will find many museums, street festivals, bars, trendy restaurants, and a lively nightlife. The underground tunnels provide a quick and easy way for pedestrians to explore the city. While walking in the streets, you can hear Mariachi music, see folklore dances, and try delicious local dishes.
Because of the rich silver and gold mines, Guanajuato was once known as the richest city in Mexico, which is still reflected in the gorgeous city palaces and sights. The start of the Independence Movement began in this city, hence Guanajuato is known for having the most Mexican pride in the country.
