San Miguel de Allende: Day Trip from Mexico City

The colorful streets and colonial architecture make San Miguel de Allende one of the most beautiful places in the world – and one of the best day trips from Mexico City.

Tickets for this one-hour guided tour of San Miguel de Allende will take you to all of the main attractions of the city – the symbolic parish of San Miguel Arcangel, the Municipal Garden, the Temple of San Francisco, the House of Allende and the Civic Plaza.

Once you've ticked all of the major sights off of your list, head over to the Mercado de Artesanías, an artisan market where you can purchase traditional crafts made with papier-mâché, metals, and blown glass.

Learn about the history of Mexico with a visit to the Municipal Palace with an introduction to Ignacio Allende, an important figure during the War of Independence.

After the guided tour, you will have free time for lunch at your own expense and wander the streets independently – visit the famous galleries, such as the Casa de la Cultura, or seek the best photo opportunities in San Miguel de Allende.
