Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel

Built in 1683, this pastel pink church is the city's most recognizable landmark.

Reviewed By Retired_teacher_56 - Dwight, Canada

The centerpiece and focal point and one of the best things to do in San Miguel Allende is the unmissable church. La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel or the Church of St. Michael the Archangel is as impressive as it is massive. This is arguably the most photogenic spot in the city inside and out. Enjoy the view from the well-manicured garden in the plaza directly in front of the church that looks almost like an ornate pinkish orange cake! On Sundays, the plaza out front is filled with families and their children enjoying the park. The Luna Rooftop Tapas Bar in the Rosewood Hotel is a great place to have a cocktail enjoying both the sunset and this amazing church

The beautiful mountain overlooking Zacatecas, complete with a cable car for tourists.

Reviewed By lesjmejia

Amazing views! Breath taking! Great place to take some great pictures of the town. The only little thing the air is very thin due to the altitude so it can be difficult for some people to breath.

Our tour guide included a tour of the campus and we finished in the Auditorium/Theater. Spectacular. The whole campus was stunning, the architecture the history. Really impressed.
