Zona Centro

The most beautiful area in the city undoubtedly is the Centro Histórico (Historic Centre), especially the Plaza Tapatía. A journey through history begins at the Catedral Metropolitana and ends at the Instituto Cultural Cabañas A first stop would be the Teatro Degollado. Probably the most picturesque walk is down the shady tree-lined Avenida Vallarta to wind up at Los Arcos (the Arches) and the fountain, tribute to Minerva. This scenic stroll leads past colonial era mansions, many of which have been converted to shops, eateries and discotheques, such as Lado B, La Marcha and the ever present Hard Rock Café.
