Pros

  • Guadalajara has more culture, walkability, history, and vibes.
  • Safe to travel to a highly touristic city that's over 2,000km from the conflicts and has a huge police presence? Yes... Guadalajara is absolutely nowhere near Cancun.
  • I agree with the first poster... Puebla is not bad, but Guadalajara is just a more interesting city, with more to see and do, and better day trips as well.
  • Personally, I'd pick Guadalajara over Puebla, though both would be fun to me. I love the city, and there are lots of fun places to explore outside the city in rural Jalisco as well.
  • If you're looking for a big city vibe with great culture and food, you should definitely put Guadalajara at the top of your list. It’s huge and has a legendary party scene, plus your Spanish will improve way faster there than in Prague.

Cons

  • If you were going to Guadalajara I would cancel.

I live in Monterrey, but i would recommend Guadalajara, has more historic value, more traditional food, and more things to do in my opinion.
