Santiago de Querétaro is a city about two hours from where we live in Northwest Mexico City. It is a colonial city with lots of historical value. It was in this city that the Mexican Constitution was signed (you will see the theater and the museum in the video), and Maximilian was tried and executed in Santiago de Querétaro. The movement for Independence was conceived in Querétaro, and the peace treaty that ended the Mexican-American war was ratified here.
There are numerous churches, ex-convents, and other attractions. Some consider it the best city in Mexico, and it was a great place to relax for a weekend.
Where is your favorite place to go for a weekend getaway?
