Open-Air Buses

The Tranvía Turística (Plaza Guadalajara in front of Presidencia Municipal. 34/1414-0836) is a convenient and scenic way to get around the city. The open-air, double-decker buses leave about every half hour from Plaza de Armas and cost $11. Buses take you on a route past some of the city's sights to Tlaquepaque, where they drop you off to wander. You can always take a later bus back if you want to stay longer. The scenery is enjoyable, but the narration is mediocre.
