&ldquo;There are so many photos of this cathedral because it absolutely dominates the center of Guadalajara. Despite the overexposure, it does not disappoint. It is a beautiful building and is still actively used as a church. The ceiling is wonderful to look at. Definitely a must-see!.&rdquo; &ndash; <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com.ph/ShowUserReviews-g150798-d531556-r785541527-Guadalajara_Cathedral-Guadalajara_Guadalajara_Metropolitan_Area.html" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">Daniel, USA</a>

Next up is the Degollado Theater, a neoclassical Mexican theater known for its artistic architecture. After marveling at the design, we&rsquo;ll head to the Rotonda of the Illustrious People of Jalisco. This mausoleum serves as a tribute to the important men and women in the history of the state of Jalisco.

&ldquo;The Arcos Vallarta is a great recreation of the original city gates at the western entrance to the city.&rdquo; &ndash; <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g150798-d184228-r645296198-Los_Arcos-Guadalajara_Guadalajara_Metropolitan_Area.html" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">Tyagi, USA</a>
