Querétaro is the most historic city in the region. During the colonial era, it played a central role in all the expeditions headed north. Later, it was at the center of events in the three wars that forged the Mexican nation: La Independencia, La Reforma, and La Revolución. Downtown Querétaro is lively, pedestrian-friendly, and filled with eye-opening colonial splendor. The local government has spruced up the city, keeps it neat with round-the-clock cleaning crews, and provides street vendors with attractive stands, regulating them so that they don't obstruct public streets and walkways. In the evenings, the downtown area fills with people who stroll about the plazas and andadores (pedestrian walkways), eat at one of the restaurants, outdoor cafes, or food stands. Since the city is only an hour by bus from San Miguel, it makes an easy day trip. But once you come, you'll be tempted to stay longer and get better acquainted with this lovely city.
