No tourist traps. No algorithm guesses. Just real spots locals love.
Not sure where to begin? These routes reflect how most visitors split their time across the state of Guanajuato. Use one as-is or adapt it with the planner above.
Day one in the old town: Jardín Unión, Teatro Juárez, the Callejón del Beso and the funicular to El Pípila at sunset, then an evening callejoneada. Day two for the Mummies Museum, La Valenciana mine and church, and a slow lunch near Mercado Hidalgo.
Walk the centro and the Parroquia on day one, spend day two at a vineyard tasting and the Cañada de la Virgen pyramid, and use day three for Atotonilco and the hot springs before dinner on a rooftop terrace.
Start in Dolores Hidalgo at the parish where the 1810 independence cry was given, try the town's famous unusual ice cream flavors, browse Talavera workshops and finish at the Sanctuary of Atotonilco on the way to San Miguel.
León is Mexico's leather capital: plan a morning in the Zona Piel for boots and bags, an afternoon in the historic center around the Expiatory Temple, and evenings for local guacamayas and street food.
