36 Best and Fun Things To Do In Tlaquepaque, Mexico


TouristWire Editors

Tlaquepaque, a lively city, is situated on the outskirts of Guadalajara for easy access.

It’s home to the famous “umbrella lane”, but it also has so much more to offer visitors.

For starters, there’s Calle Independencia, a pedestrian street lined with shops, eateries, and colorful decorations.

Then there’s Mercado Benito Juarez, a lively local market where you can find everything from piñatas to souvenirs and food.

Another must-see is the Regional Ceramic Museum, where you can find beautiful examples of indigenous handicrafts.

Looking for a respite from the hustle and bustle? Head to Jardin Hidalgo, a public square with plenty of shady spots for enjoying an ice cream from a local vendor.

Of course, this is just a small sample of what this colorful town has to offer. You can find out more about Tlaquepaque and the surrounding area from our list of recommendations below.
