Hello, Hallo, hola, bonjour,.... Some tourism students are going to attend the summer universtiy in guadalajara and as we are spending there just 4 weeks (which is really not a long time, considered that we have school from 8am to 5pm) i am looking for some good insider tipps / Must DOs / Must Visit /good places to go (restaurants, bars, clubs..) to make the most out of the time there. maybe also some tipps about transportation (bus tickets and so on) Thx a lot! Doris

Plaza Tapatia, Plaza de los Mariachis, Mercado San Juan de Dios, eat a Torta Ahogada (drowned sandwich), its a specialty in Guadalajara. Have fun! I'm sleepy right now but I will try to remember to let you know of many more.

My favorite bar is La Maestranza (the one downtown ON Maestranza, not the one in the Zona Rosa). They have an amazing tequila list and super-cheap bar food. Which university are you attending? I lived near UNIVA (west on Tepeyac or Guadalupe, near Plaza del Sol) and developed an unhealthy addiction to the quesadillas at our neighbourhood menuderia... they would stuff them with potatos or squash blossoms for me because I was a vegetarian. You will probably have lots of cheap restaurants in your neighbourhood- try all them to find your favorite! La O is a great restaurant near Centro Magno (upscale international cuisine) and nearby there is also another great upscale Mexican restaurant called El Sacromonte. In the Zona Rose there is another "international" restaurant called Coscafe that has great pizzas and pastas, if you tire of Mexican food. Avoid Santo Coyote- though many people recommend it as a "special" dining experience, all five us us agreed it was the single worst meal we ate in Mexico! We went to a few nightclubs but none really stood out as being very special to me, though I remember there were a lot of foreigners at one called Wall Street. Great things to do include riding the Tequila Express (WORTH IT... it's kind of touristy but most of the tourists will be Mexican- we were the only foreigners in our entire car!), visiting Guachimontones and calling in sick on a Friday to take a long weekend on the coast (I recommend Sayulita).
