The San Miguel de Allende City Guides answer what visitors keep asking: where to find barbacoa before the lamb runs out, which churches and courtyards to see on foot, where to soak in warm springs outside town and how a night moves from a rooftop to a mezcal bar to a taco cart. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
La Parada
Recreo 94, Centro
Peruvian cooking with a Mexican accent in a busy room on Recreo: ceviche, lomo saltado and bread with a house butter you will want to take home. From the food guide.
Church of the Immaculate Conception
Canal 23 (Las Monjas)
Las Monjas, the convent church whose yellow dome stands out on the skyline. Step inside for old oil paintings and a nave that stays cool and quiet on hot afternoons. From the things to do guide.
Monumento Al Pipila
Cerro de San Miguel, Guanajuato
The lookout above Guanajuato, with the whole town of coloured houses and domes below you. Ride the funicular up, then wander back down through the alleys on foot. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in San Miguel de Allende
Day one: visit the churches in the morning, before they close in the afternoon, take a long lunch from the food guide, then watch the sunset from a rooftop and move on to a mezcal bar from the nightlife guide. Day two: catch a bus to Guanajuato or Dolores Hidalgo with the day trips guide, or spend it in the warm pools if you travel with kids. For a slow or rainy day, the budget guide pairs the library courtyard and Fábrica La Aurora with a cheap set lunch.
