Living in Guanajuato- Is It Better Than San Miguel de Allende?

Mariana Lange Last Updated on

Guanajuato is the capital city of the state of Guanajuato in Mexico’s Bajio region.

The city is known for for its architecture, art scene, college vibe, tunnels, and kissing alleyways that are sure to impress you.

It’s as charming as San Miguel de Allende but about half the cost! And because it has temperate weather, you can expect your days to be about 80 degrees and 50 degrees at night.

Perfect weather year round!

Guanajuato is in the region known as El Bajío, a relatively high-altitude area with a semi-dry climate. Guanajuato is at 6,000 feet above sea level. This is a wonderful central highland city in Mexico we recommend to live in!

In this video, we share what it’s like to live in Guanajuato. Including some rental examples
