Historic Centre of Morelia, Morelia

Morelia is a beautiful city. You will fall in love with her. The architecture is breath taking, made with local quarried stone, columns are abundant, and there is no shortage of wrought iron adornment. The aquaduct that runs through the city along with the many covered walkways with arches and columns gives this city a European feel. Then you stop and think these beautiful buildings (well over 1,200 colonial buildings) are around 400 years old. The food is exceptional and plentiful. Bring your comfortable shoes there is plenty to see. Remember the butterflies are nearby during the Winter. The tourist info. booth can help to arrange any needed tours. I strongly recommend this city. This city is not as strong as Oaxaca on the art scene, but it holds it's own in beautiful buildings and fountains. Splurge and stay at the Virrey or check out some of the local hotels near the aquaduct...hotel de la artiste was nice. You won't be disappointed as long as you are in Morelia.
