Parks & Historic Squares
Guanajuato’s urban landscape is defined by its series of interconnected plazas and historic gardens. This collection features the triangular Union Garden, known for its manicured laurels and live music, and the 17th-century Ex-Hacienda San Gabriel de Barrera, which houses seventeen distinct thematic gardens. Visitors can explore the central Plaza de la Paz, surrounded by colonial architecture, or find shade in the hilltop Jardín el Cantador. From the quiet views at Reform Garden to the bustling café culture of San Fernando Square, these spaces showcase the city’s colonial heritage and social life.
