Grand as it is from the outside, the inside is even more impressive, so take the tour (check for hours) if you don't go to an event there. You will see the recently restored elaborate Moorish-style interior as it must have looked to theatre-goers in 1903.

We wanted to see the inside of this iconic theater but every time there was an event we wanted to see it was sold out. Inside is like a French opera house, very opulent and worth the trip. Tour is in Spanish only.

We stayed in a Hotel across the street. I had seen many photo's of the theatre on the internet and really wanted to see inside. Truly beautiful, gold finishes everywhere. My husband and I were very lucky to "walk the red carpet" to a movie premiere held at the Juarez Theater.

Buenos Aires has its magnificent 105-yr-old Teatro Colon, but Guanajuato got the jump on BA with Its more intimate Teatro Colon, which opened in 1903. The aspirations of a nascent Mexican nation infuse its history. Sumptuous touches throughout, including liberal use of the local limestone.

The architecture alone makes this worth a visit. The fact that a beautiful square with outdoor cafes is just across the street is an added bonus.

This is the center of Guanajuato, and we were lucky enough to go to a concert there. Moorish design covers every square inch, with a lofty ceiling, and good acoustics, too.

It is a beautiful building you can't miss.One of the main attractions in Guanajuato. Our hotel was next to it. The plaza is full of life night and day

Close to cafes but can be crowded and can be pricey. There is a fee of 35 pesos and additional 30 pesos for the camera. But it's worth it! Bought a bottle of red wine and sat at the steps for 3 hours.

I love the interior, its extraordinary and beautifully restored. Its an amazing monument to the riches of the town during the time of Porfirio Diaz.
