Top Culture Spots in Guerrero

Plan to check out the Zocalo in the evening around 7 PM. The lights really create a magical atmosphere, and you'll probably catch some live music or performances too!

Try to visit Zocalo on a weekday if you can. It gets super crowded on weekends, and I found it much easier to enjoy the architecture and snap pics without a ton of people in the way.

I suggest bringing a camera with a good zoom. You’ll want to capture the beautiful details of the buildings – they’re stunning!

Don't skip the small food stalls around the Zocalo. The quesadillas I tried were amazing and way cheaper than in the fancy restaurants nearby.

I recommend visiting during the morning when it opens at 9 AM. It gets super busy later in the day, and you can enjoy the exhibits without the crowds

Don't skip the views from the fort. Take some time to stroll around the ramparts for amazing photo ops of the coastline.

I think it's worth spending time at the workshops. I loved making my own silver piece, but I wish I had reserved a spot beforehand. They get full quickly.

I suggest bringing cash, as some vendors only accept pesos. It made things a bit tricky for me at first, but once I got some cash, I found better deals!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The streets are cobbled and a bit uneven, so you'll be glad you did! I regretted my shoe choice halfway through.

I suggest going early, like around 9 AM, to miss the crowds and get a clearer experience in the mine. It gets busier around noon and you’ll want to soak it all in peacefully.

If you’re looking to save some cash, bring snacks and water instead of buying them there. The little shop has marked up prices that you won’t appreciate!

My advice is to grab a local guide if you can. I thought I could go solo, but having someone who knows the history really enhances the whole experience

I recommend going on a weekday around 10 am when it's less crowded. You can really take your time enjoying the beautiful architecture without feeling rushed. Plus, the morning light makes for awesome photos!

Don't skip the little shops nearby! I found some great local crafts that were super affordable. My advice is to haggle a bit – you might score a better deal!
