Zapopan is a big city right next to Guadalajara, and together they form one large area. It mixes old traditions with new parks, shops, and tech offices.
You can visit the famous white Basilica church, explore leafy parks and forests, and see modern art at a bright museum.
The Basilica of Zapopan holds a tiny, much-loved statue of the Virgin that people celebrate with a huge yearly parade.
Nearby forests and a deep canyon give families lots of green space to hike and picnic.
