Set in a narrow valley bordered by the Sierra de Guanajuato Mountains, the charming city of Guanajuato comprises narrow, cobblestone streets that wind in-between colourful buildings and mountainsides. Many of these streets are far too small for vehicles to pass through, and the resulting underground network of tunnels is just one feature that makes the city a unique destination. Visitors to the historic mining town are also treated to magnificent neo-classical and baroque buildings, vibrant plazas, and a host of cultural events and activities all year round. Most notable is the famous Festival Internacional Cevantino, one of the world’s premier art and culture extravaganzas. UNESCO recognises Guanajuato for its signature architecture, silver mines, and rich history.
