Plaza Hidalgo & Historic Center

Plaza Hidalgo

A central plaza ringed by cobbled slopes, with old houses converted into cafés, restaurants and craft shops.

Plaza Hidalgo is the heart of town, with a wrought-iron gazebo in the middle and 18th- and 19th-century stone houses around it. Walking from the plaza along Lázaro Gortari Street toward the church, you'll pass cafés, an Italian restaurant, silver jewellery shops and Wixárika beadwork stalls. This is the area with the strongest Pueblo Mágico atmosphere. The cobbled streets are steep and slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. Phone signal and ATMs in town are limited, so bring plenty of cash.
