    Safe place for a walk with lots of photo ops..shops, restaurants, bars. Great people watching. So many statues to take photos with and only a block or two to the church, which is beautiful. Great experience overall.

    Unique Orozco murals from a Mexican Muralist era in the same time of Diego Rivera, that brings inquisitive minds to question industrialism, colonialism and the impact on Mexican culture.

    We decided to hop on the local bus from Zona Romantica and visit the Botanical Gardens independently. The bus ride was fun and cheap & drops your off right outside. Lovely to see sights along the way, places where you might want to discover at a later date. The gardens themselves are absolutely beautiful! We spent hours here, looking at all the different plants/flowers & relaxing. We enjoyed food and drinks in the restaurant and looking out at all the bird feeders expertly hung for close ups of many different birds including hummingbirds. The staff around the gardens were very knowledgeable & friendly. We loved our visit & would highly recommend.

    This Gothic church is well-kept. It is in deed a jewel in the center of Guadalajara. It is a must-to see. This architecture brings richness to the city and it is in my opinion a much nicer church than the cathedral due to the color glass.

    The building with its impressive Corinthian columns is home to the Guadalaraja Philharmonic and was commenced in 1855 and completed four decades later. Worth a view because of the architecticture.

    The place is enormous, there are many animals I have never seen before and you can do many activities. I advise you to go early so you have time to tour the zoo.

    The transportation service was impeccable. Driver picked us up from the port in a private car, took us to destination quickly and safely. Gave us some history and a scenic tour of the city.
