One of the best restaurants in town. A place to take someone to impress them. But prices are VERY reasonable. Try the Molcajetes! Historic building built in 1690 formerly the convent of the discalced carmelites. Quiet piano music, a fountain and birds; wonderfully rich food and drinks

I love these historic old buildings that are now clubs. Crowd here is 20's and 30's mostly but friendly. Mix of English and Spanish pop music with some cumbia, rap, r&b and house tech. Gay club but then the best dance clubs are. Main floor and an upstairs. Drinks are cheap and people are friendly

Sightseeing
Built in the 16th and 17th centuries it houses the relics of St. Innocent and is probably one of the most photographed buildings in the city with neoclassical, boroque and gothic archetecture. It is huge and houses many exhibitions but please be respectful it is a local sanctuary. Insider Tip: Don't forget to visit the crypts, they are all the way to the end on the side hallway and down some stairs
