From series “The Most Magical and Picturesque Cities in the World”
The Mexican city of Guanajuato is the capital of the eponymous state. It is famous for its unique Mummies Museum. Locals call Guanajuato 'Silver City' due to its large deposits of iron and precious metals. A large industrial city in the past, nowadays, Guanajuato is considered to be one of the most beautiful colonial cities in Mexico, the main value of which is a unique architecture.
Particularly interesting for tourists is the historic center of the city. Here you can see a lot of incredible buildings with centuries of history. Many old buildings are colorful, which makes the historical streets look like illustrations for children's tales. The streets of Guanajuato are very narrow and winding, it's simply impossible to drive through some of them by car. Inexperienced tourists go for a walk along the streets only accompanied by a guide.
