Find a spot to sit and watch the world go by at Plaza de la Liberacion. If its paved paths could talk, this historic town square would have plenty of stories to tell.

You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when staying in Downtown Guadalajara. Plaza de la Liberacion is a good place to start here, but there are many other interesting attractions to consider. Hospicio Cabanas, Basilica de Zapopan, and Guadalajara Cathedral are near the public square and will top off your day nicely.
