Posted: January 5, 2025Guadalajara it’s a great destination if you come to Mexico. It’s full of cultural spots and new trendy places when it comes to art, design or even fashion. It’s a very safe city but you have to be careful in some areas
Posted: September 8, 2024I think Guadalajara is mostly safe, at least in the most touristy places and during the day, maybe I would be a bit more cautious at night and avoid to walk alone. Always keep an eye on your stuff, there might be pickpockets in some areas
Posted: August 18, 2024It’s a great city but if you’re open eyes and careful in the nightlife because the violence against women is increasing a lot But the people, in general, are nice and warm. You have to be careful walking at night and also for the uber
