Beautiful, intimate theater dating 1903, historic, a jewel of the city! The statues outside are beautiful and the actual concert hall inside is nice and elegant.

This town is so beautiful and so charming and I would love to come back and spend more time here!

Easy to find, inexpensive to visit, it will take you about an hour and a half to discover more of Rivera's life and work. Open daily 10am-7pm, Sundays - 10am-3pm. Closed Mondays! Lots of personal objects on display, furniture and art created by the artist, in an intimate display since this was the place his was born. Very nice place, not crowded when we visited, so it made it for a pleasant time. I was very happy to be able to check it out and learn more about the great Mexican muralist artist!

In other words, great for those with short attention spans. Until he was 6 Diego Rivera lived in the house in which this museum is situated. Here you can see the rooms he once played in and view a collection of his works though nothing large-scale like the murals for which he really gained renown. In addition to Diego's works (which you're not permitted to photograph) in many art genres, there are a couple of other art installations. On this visit the most interesting of these was the very top floor which featured the work of Guanajuato artists whose work I'd have enjoyed a whole museum being filled with. There's a lot of stairs to navigate here but an elevator if you cannot do so. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Guanajuato and enjoy museums and/or Diego Rivera. And, if they know you speak only English they'll screen a 7-minute film, in English, telling you more about the space and the featured artists.

Located on the second floor right in front of the park where the mariachi plays and next to the iconic Teatro Juárez, this spot offers not only fantastic food but also one of the best views in town. Picture a charming, rustic setting overlooking the lively street scene below. La Trattoria blends Italian and Mexican flavors beautifully. I had the tuna appetizer and shrimp tacos both absolutely delicious and full of fresh, bold flavor. Others at our table enjoyed a variety of pasta and seafood dishes, and everyone left impressed. The drinks were also a hit they offer a solid mix of cocktails, from traditional cantaritos to crisp martinis. Whether you're in the mood for something a little different or just want to soak up the atmosphere with a great meal and a view, La Trattoria is a must. We'll definitely be back!

With no expectations we were delighted by this spectacular property. I would give the magical Museo Ex-Hacienda San Gabriel de Barrera gardens six stars and the manor, 4 stars. This hacienda was once a major world influence of silver. Built at the end of the 1600's for a Captain Gabriel de la Barrera, heir to the Valenciana silver mine, the grounds stretch over 22,000 square meters. The Hacienda is divided into 16 areas, complete with 17 gardens, all groomed to a different style surrounding the various manor buildings and small plazas. I walked through the various gardens toward the manor house. The weather started out sunny, then some gray clouds came and after a few drops, the sun reappeared. The property is a photographers dream. This place is a must see when traveling in the Guanajuato/San Miguel de Allende area.
