1. Calle Independencia
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 100 reviews
A popular shopping strip in Tlaquepaque, a tiny suburb on the outskirts of Guadalajara.
Reviewed By Sally_EP
Great place to enjoy Mexican food and shopping. Calle Independencia in the artists' neighborhood of Tlaquepaque is closed to vehicles and serves as an outdoor pedestrian mall. There are numerous craft shops, restaurants, and fine art galleries. Lovely Mexican handicrafts and food. There are also street performers. Nice place for visitors to stroll and appreciate this lovely Guadalajara neighborhood. The area is also known for mariachis and Day of the Dead festivities. I did my Christmas shopping!
2. Plaza de Armas

This traditional plaza has frequent free evening concerts and is always filled with a variety of amateur musicians.
Reviewed By pulcino3
A true "agora", where both locals and tourists gather, whether it's gazing at the old architectural treasures of Guadalajara's historic center, or just people watching. There are entertainers, and food vendors around, lots of restaurants, and only a few benches to rest for free (there should be more).

This always busy downtown plaza lies at the heart of the city's historic district.

My friend and I hired a local, English speaking, guide to walk us around the Centro Historico area. Knowing the history of Guadalajara made this plaza much more interesting than just walking through it. I also enjoyed sitting in a cafe drinking coffee and people watch. I've been to Guadalajara several times and I always enjoy seeing what events, activities and programs they have going on in the plaza.

All roads in Tlaquepaque lead to Independencia Avenue. From morning till late at night it is a vibrant area filled with activity, wonderful food smells and great shopping. At one end there is a small plaza full of food vendors and at the other end is a church. Plan a full day
