Museo Panteón de Belén, Jalisco, Mexico
4.5 (218 reviews) Monday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent Ranking #17 in Guadalajara Metropolitan Area Speciality Museums
Great history with awesome tour guides to explain it
I would make this a stop in your adventures in Guadalajara. Short uber ride from the central plaza. Its not expensive, however please pay the extra fee that they charge to take pictures. It's worth every penny. Learn about the legends of the city. The Vampire, Nachito and the architect that built the cemetery. Each one has a great story. The tour guide was knowledgeable and approachable. We took the last tour of the day which is at 3pm. Get there on time. Enjoy

Loved the Panteon de Belen Cemetery
I have to say this was one of my favorite attractions in Guadalajara. It is an old cemetery that was built in 1848 and is full of legends, folklore and is very beautiful! It has been converted into a museum and they offer free guided tours (in Spanish of course). I read up on many of the legends beforehand so when we took the tour I wasn't totally lost in the translation. It only costs a few pesos to get in and is so worth it!

Interesting
This was one of very few tours we took while visiting Guadalajara. Happy that we did... They do have tour guides that speak English. This was a very interesting place and glad we visited it. There is not much around it and definitely recommend taking a cab there as the streets we walked were often narrow, busy with cars and not sure areas where we should have been walking.
