Zona Romántica
The old neighborhood south of the Cuale River, with dense restaurants, bars, and galleries on cobblestone streets. It is the center of the city's nightlife and food scene.
Also known as "Old Vallarta" (Viejo Vallarta), this area has cobblestone streets, old white-walled houses with red-tiled roofs, and bougainvillea-covered walls that capture the classic Mexican seaside town atmosphere. Basilio Badillo and Olmos streets are lined with restaurants and bars, offering everything from street taco stands to fine dining. This is also one of the best-known LGBTQ+-friendly neighborhoods in Latin America. On Wednesday evenings in winter, art walks let you browse the galleries. It is right next to Los Muertos Beach, so you can easily walk between them.
