Are there any local celebrations during our wedding weekend?Are there any local celebrations during our wedding weekend?

Answer

Yes—in the best way! Our wedding week coincides with Mexico’s Independence Day celebrations on September 15–17, one of the most exciting times to be in San Miguel. Expect festive crowds, mariachi, fireworks, and lots of patriotic spirit throughout the city. We recommend making restaurant reservations in advance and planning ahead for popular spots. Bonus points if you pack something red, white, or green and join in the celebration!

Question

How should I travel around San Miguel de Allende?How should I travel around San Miguel de Allende?

Answer

We do not recommend renting a car in San Miguel. The town is compact, charmingly walkable, and best explored on foot. Its narrow, cobblestone streets add to the charm, but comfortable shoes are a must. Taxis and Ubers are plentiful and affordable. Local taxis are green and white, with daytime fares averaging about 60 pesos (around $4 USD) and slightly higher rates at night. Please note that taxis in San Miguel do not have meters and only accept pesos. Drivers rarely carry change, so keep small bills handy, and plan to tip 10–15% of your fare.
