Where to Go / What to Do in Durango

Walking along the city’s historic center is a great outing in itself for its calm air and numerous colonial and historic buildings as the Cathedral, Casa del Conde Súchil, Palacio Zambrano, “El Aguacate” hosting the Museo Regional and the central plaza where friendly people are always willing to guide new visitors.

CALLEJONEADAS
The tradition of walking through the city center’s alleys, accompanied by music and verses of an estudiantina (folkloric and romantic music group formed by young students) is still alive in Durango every Sunday afternoon. Starting at the central plaza, the tour ends with an art show you shouldn’t miss.

MUSEO DE CINE
The State of Durango is famous among film directors and actors ever since Westerns started to be filmed. Great Hollywood stars have been in Durango for filming cowboy thrillers and today the Museo de Cine gives evidence with old photographs, interesting anecdotes, old film props, etc.
