As all attractions, that is a crowded one, plenty of "professional photographers" that think that the narrow alley (68 cm) is their property and you must have their services to take a photo. Do not pay attention to them, go inside and take a look. The legend is tragic, of course, and if you don´t kiss with truly love your... More

This place is such a cliche in Guanajuato. Yet, if you go there for the fist time, you must do it. But be aweare of the Jr High school kids on excursion if you are there with your sweatheart. Harmless, yet you might feel embarrass when they all chant ´Beso, beso´as you walk by. Try to go early in the... More

This isn't one of the most attractive callejones in Guanajuato, but we still had to go and kiss there.

Not easy to find but locals are helpful. you may find someone who wishes to tell you the story behind the location-for a peso and a smile. Make sure you go up and plant a kiss or offer yourself to any singles passing by!

Nice story about the balcony and how lovers exchanged kisses, hire a tour guide within the area so there is more meaning to the visit

This place has all the makings of a tourist trap, but I get a kick out of the story. We live close by, and whenever we have visitors, I always stop by this place and tell the story. Someone will offer to tell you the story when you're there. Do it. It's a great little look into Mexican culture.

Worth seeing because it is such a short walk from the Jardin and Theater area. Climb the stairs to get to the balcony where there is currently a little sweet shop.

We just chose this attraction to write about this beautiful City, callejon del beso is a nice place full of people that want a romantic moment but the whole city is a romantic moment, just to have a walk during the night makes you the same feeling of your first love. One of our favourites in the world.

This is the narrowest street in Guanajuato. So narrow in fact that you can touch both sides at once with your elbows. Legend has it that two Romeo & Juliet wannabees used to snog across the street, from their respective houses, the extreme narrowness making it technically possible. Now you have to kiss someone if you go there or it's... More

The Callejon del Besos is very interesting... but the City of Guanajuato is all amazing - a beautiful 16th Century Spanish designed city locate din the bottom of a bowl, the streets are wonderful - tunnelling under houses and hills... the homes are built on steep streets that can go up for four blocks! There is so much to see... More
