Guadalajara
in Jalisco

Often unfairly cast in the shadow of Mexico City, Guadalajara is a design-forward, un-hurried city full of artists and creatives. Unlike the hustle and bustle of the capital, Mexico's second-largest city offers a more laid-back atmosphere, with leafy streets lined with old mansions and a mix of Art Deco and modernist architecture.
