Very enjoyable way to spend an afternoon... More

Located in downtown Queretaro this is the main city plaza, you'll find countless restaurants and many historic locales from the 18th century. Here are some important monuments, the "Palacio de la Coregidora" and the monumento to Juan Antonio de Urrutia y Arana to name some. This is a must place to visit in Queretaro, you'll have a great time. More
