City Information
Guadalajara
Authentically Mexican and bustling with cultural activities, Guadalajara offers a more culturally vivid travel experience compared to the busy Mexico City. Guadalajara is blessed with towering architectural marvels, the most notable of which is the Guadalajara Cathedral that features awe-inspiring Gothic architecture and enormous stained-glass windows. Another great one to check out is the Rotonda de Los Jaliscienses Ilustres, featuring 17 Doric columns dedicated to the city’s favorite authors and revolutionaries. For those who simply want to wander about, Parque Agua Azul offers a great respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.
One of the city’s beloved specialties is the torta ahogada, which is a pork sandwich drowned in broth. If you wish to try some of the best tacos in town, head over to the San Juan de Dios Market.
The city’s rapid transit line, SITEUR, provides intracity and intercity transit services. The main airport of the city is the Guadalajara International, 10 miles south of downtown.

Austin is the capital of the Lone Star State and one of the best vacation destinations in Texas. Known as Texas’s “weird” city, Austin is famous for being the southern mecca for the arts. In addition to being a hot spot for both emerging and established artists from Texas and the surrounding states, Austin is well known for its eclectic live music scene. In addition, the University of Texas’ main campus is located in Austin, which makes the city a popular destination for young people from all over the world, keeping it vibrant at all times. It’s no surprise that it ranks among the top party cities in the U.S.
While you’re in town, make sure to stop by the hip South Congress neighborhood to shop at the trendy boutiques and grab some grub at the authentically Austin restaurants. Since Austin is one of the best craft beer cities in the country, you won’t regret checking out some of the local breweries too. After that, head over to Lady Bird Lake and rent a kayak for a relaxing paddling session on the water, or simply go for a walk on the picturesque Hike & Bike Trail. Finally, spend the night bar hopping along the pedestrian-only Sixth Street.
While the Austin airport is located on the outskirts of the city, the main train station is right in the heart of downtown. Similarly, the two bus stations that serve Austin are located close to the city center, making ground transportation the more convenient way to travel in and out of town.
