Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe

5 Erick Ramos - 8 months ago

Iconic basicila that has to be visited by everyone. Regardless of your faith, Catholics and non Catholics alike can admire the beauty of the architecture and history of the area. The culture is amazing to learn about and how it shaped the Mexico of today. It'll be more interesting if you have a guide showing you around and explaining everything to you, however going alone is still very interesting to do and you will admire everything the same. Entry is free so you don't have to pay to enter but you can always donate while inside if you'd like. Overall I can wholeheartedly recommend for everyone to visit and experience in your own

You cannot come to Mexico and not visit the Basilica, whether you are a believer or not the experience is unforgettable, hundreds of people visit daily, the process to see the image is quick, easy and free. They have moving floors (as the ones at the airport) so you can go in front of her but don't stop others, I find this to be so much more effective than other places as people cannot "gather" in front of the image and keep you from seeing her, I wish they did that at Museums around the globe. There are plenty of churches and places of worship around and the history behind all these monuments and cathedrals and churches is wonderful. Come early as the later you come the more people arrive and bring money because there plenty of souvenirs and religious articles to purchase

One of the main places you have to visit when you come to Mexico. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Catholic or not, it’s just a very cool experience. Many devout Catholics and tourists visit daily, the process to see the image is fast and free of charge. They have moving floors (like the ones at the airport). It’s a good idea because it prevents people from gathering and blocking the area for a good photo. Besides the basilica, there are several “parroquias” and “capillas” to enter and visit. Come early as the later you come the more people arrive and bring money because there plenty of souvenirs and religious articles to purchase. The most impressive thing to me was the statue of Mary and the Aztecs that’s behind the main plaza with the water surrounding it. Make sure you climb up the many stairs to get a view of the city! Plaza Mariana is also a place where people visit their deceased loved ones in the crypts. Highly recommend this place!

It’s an impressive church representative of the Spanish colonial times. You must see the all silver altar!
Access its free and normally there aren’t very many people. The pipe organ I stalled on the second floor is massive.
It’s next to the famous Recoleta cemetery.

It’s simply beautiful. There’s mass here. There’s a movie that plays of the the Virgin de Guadalupe. It’s kept clean and it’s wonderful how people of all backgrounds come here. There was a homeless man coming in to confess and no one saw him treated him badly. Everyone here was respectful to one another.

Amazing place to visit. We were brought here apart of a local tour. Very large property with multiple structures.

A lot of visitors so prepare for it to be packed.

I was there for a very short time since I had the opportunity and I had never been. It is a beautiful place and since it was a Monday it was not very busy at all. It had a great energy and just all around beautiful calm vibe.
