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

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

I’ve never seen anything like this place in my life. The whole house, and surrounding structures are completely covered in mosaics and other bizarre creations. Definitely worth the trip.

One of our guides described it as the living room of SMA. Just before sunset people of all ages fill the zocalo. It's exciting to watch and walk around

Mexico has spent a large amount of money upgrading this part. New walks through new gardens and nice new basketball courts for kids!
9. El Charco del Ingenio
Overall Ratings

El Charco del Ingenio is a botanical garden and nature preserve just a few minutes from the historical city of San Miguel de Allende. The name comes from a spring-fed pool nestled in an impressive canyon. With great biodiversity, many different species of native plants and animals are in the canyon, the wetlands and the dry scrubland. El Charco hosts an extensive botanical collection made up of cacti and other succulent Mexican plants, many of which are rare, threatened or in danger of extinction. This is a place that was sanctified as a Peace Zone by the Dalai Lama, where you can enjoy the Conservatory of Mexican Plants, scenic overlooks, historic sites, trails, Interactive Garden for Children, camping zone, cafeteria & gift shop, as well as different activities like guided tours, sweat-lodge, workshops, concerts, full moon ceremonies and more.

This small market is located on a narrow side street.
Reviewed By busyeater - New Westminster, Canada
Not to be missed, even if you’re not a shopper and aren’t looking to buy. Excellent Mexican crafts, jewellery, pottery, clothing etc. , all in one place. Feast for the eyes! The vendors are friendly and helpful, for the most part. No pressure or hard sell. Some will bargain, within reason. Overall, I found the prices quite reasonable but they do vary from stall to stall. Not to be missed.
