travelling to guadalajara

There are no direct flights to Guadalajara (GDL) from the UK so you will need to take a connecting flight.

There are regular national flights from Mexico City or Cancun, from Madrid, Spain or from multiple US cities. Choose whatever works best for you.

Getting around – When landing in GDL airport, we strongly recommend you use an official airport taxi as prices are better regulated. You can also use Uber’s but you will need to an internal bus to the pick up point. Be careful to avoid the random people outside offering unofficial rides.

To move around town, Uber is widely available, safe, and often more convenient than taxis.

We chose Tlaquepaque as the neighbourhood to stay in for its charm, colourful streets, beautiful architecture, and vibrant food and music scene.

We chose Hotel Dex and Quinta Don José as the host hotels, a 7 min walk between each other. We have pre-booked some rooms, so please reach out to us if you need help arranging yours.
Both hotels combine boutique charm, comfort, and authentic Mexican character, making them feel more personal and special than large, generic hotels. They’re beautifully designed, warm, and intimate—ideal for bringing everyone together in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

They’re also perfectly located in the heart of Tlaquepaque, so guests can easily explore the town’s restaurants, shops, and culture on foot.
