San Miguel de Allende Day Trip Experience from Mexico City

Free time to find something to eat and stretch your legs.

In our drive, we will see the landscape of Central Mexico. Before arriving to San Miguel, we will stop so you can take panoramic photos of San Miguel de Allende.

Once in San Miguel de Allende, we will have an hour and a half guided tour where we will get to know the main attractions of the city such as the symbolic parish of San Miguel Arcángel, the garden, Chapel of Jimmy Ray, the American Hispanic Academy, the Temple of San Francisco, the Casa de Allende and the Civic Plaza. We will visit the Handicraft Market, where you can buy typical handicrafts, elaborated mainly with papier maché, metals, blown glass.

This is the perfect place to take your next favorite picture. The incredible view allows you to recognize the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel and the dome and tower of the Templo de San Francisco.

Beautiful garden square, with cafes, boutiques and an emblematic pink parish with a Gothic facade.

Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel is a 17th-century neo-Gothic church famous for its tall pink spires and majestic ornate sanctuary.

It was in this house where Ignacio Allende, one of the most notorious heroes of Mexico's Independence, was born and raised. At the end of 1810 the house was confiscated by the viceregal government; months before, from there the first insurgent army left for its first formal battle.

Classifying the architecture style of the church of San Francisco is a real challenge. One expert says that its facade is Baroque, another pure Churrigueresque, one more Rococo, and yet another belief that it is a combination of all of them. In any case, the facade facing the small square of San Francisco has detailed quarry work, lavishly embellished.

Originally built in 1555, this square was the center of activity for the population, it was the market and meeting place in its time. Today the statue of Ignacio Allende is the protagonist of the square.

Peaceful park with brightly colored flowers, winding paths, shaded benches, and a playground.

A colorful craft market, with stalls of hand-embroidered shawls, decorative pottery, and silver jewelry.
