Cathedral of the Virgin of Guadalupe
lashr1999 Says: The Cathedral was built in 1945 and had to be rebuilt in 1975 due to a fire. Since 1957 the cathedral has been the seat of the Bishop of the Diocese and has been dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe. The south side of the cathedral features a beautiful stained glass window...
lashr1999 Says: While here we headed to an indoor market which had many souvenirs. I tried on a sombrero for fun. What caught my eye was the Dia de los Muertos statues that were being sold. I had to have one. As I am not a good bargainer, I asked Roy to help me with the price. They started...
Swingophile Says: I really felt the presence of Spain, when on Easter Weekend, 2003, I saw my first Bullfight in Juarez. I think Juarez was an excellent place to see this. The Plaza is plenty big, lots of parking, clean, etc.
People watching at Plaza Principal
sambarnett Says: As venders and beggars harrassed me all the way down Avenida Juárez, I was refreshingly ignored at Plaza Principal. Even the fellow sitting next to me, hawking large bags of cocaine (or something that looked like coke) paid me no mind.This picture was taken at the...
call_me_rhia Says: I'm afraid shopping, since friends had given me a huge shopping list - which turned out to be very simple. Mexican blankets, Mexican jumpers - and please no Mexican jewellery or pottery. So anyway, other than the shops by the side of the street, I also tried two places that...

lilltle shacks with lights: anything that is in a stand
elmajico Says: if you want good authentic mexican food visit the food stands in juarez they may seem like shacks but they are the best food in town. dont fall for the hype these high price restuarants charge. they have awesome places with exotic dining experiences but there food is usualy...
lashr1999 Says: I have no idea the name of th restaurant but it was right near the border. We ate in an authentic Mexican restaurant where mariachis would ask if they could play for you and street vendors would sell their beaded and painted wares. The food was excellent. You could tell the...
call_me_rhia Says: obviously Mexican food: my real favourite food in the world. I may have seen little in Ciudad Juarez, but surely I have eaten a lot. I actually did not eat the previous day, so I crossed the border nicely hungry. What a delight: tacos, fajitas de pollo, burritos... and...
dont park anywhere in juarez if you must leave your car in el paso right next to the downtown bridge. If anything use taxis and only the new looking taxis that come up to you. If your white dont act mexican just act like bad ass white people mexicans from juarez are impressed whith that. Also if there is anything that you might want dont ask other mexicans, ask the taxi drivers. mexican taxi drivers know everything. dont trust that idiot you met at a club.
Dress Code: there are allot of dress codes but if your a pimp or ballar all you need is some cash to grease these monkeys. show the door guys a hundred dollar bill and tell them your "the ***ing man tonight" this also works with juarez cops although it doesnt take as much, usualy only twenty to thirty dollars.

elmajico Says: a taxi is the best way to get around juarez. the taxis in juarez are the best in knowint what is going around town. no one else can tell you what juares is about. make sure you dont trust just any mexican whol thinks he knows juarez. If you are ever unshure use this as a...
Crossing the border to Juarez Mexico
lashr1999 Says: The interesting thing is that you only need your driver’s license to get in and out of this part of Mexico. You do not need a passport if your stay is less than 72 hours and you do not travel pass the 18 mile limit. It costs 50c to cross the bridge into Juarez and come back....
I traveled alone to Juarez for my 1st Bullfight. Being 6'3" and 220lbs, I guess I felt comfortable doing that, walking around, at night, by myself, and talking to strangers.
Never had any problems, though I guess I wouldn't recommend it.
I met Ray here, and he took me around to a few bars, etc. there's plenty of people around who will show you the ropes, for very little compensation, just use your best judgement.

mjd74 Says: The local people here are of a special ilk. I dont know how else to describe them. Please note that I am not talking about all of the people that live in this hole, only 99% of them.The thing that I noticed is that when I would ask for directions, some of the responses that...
mjd74 Says: There is a scam that is done in all of the local shops and even some of the nicest hotels.It all depends on the exchange rate. When I was there, the exchange for a dollar was $10.50. I also had quite a few peso's on me and would purchase all of my items in peso's. However...
sambarnett Says: The El Paso/Ciudad Juárez border is one of the largest, if not the largest, drug trafficking spots on the US-Mexican border. Stick to well-lit major streets, be very careful at night (avoid walking alone) and watch out for pickpockets.
Helpfulness
Woho not bad eh? one day in Ciudad Juarez and i even found a tourist trap: a big, fat, kitschy one. Some 'model' shopping center called Pueblito Mexicano. One can only describe it as architecturally offensive: neons and fake stained-glass trying to look like an obese Mexican Pueblo. Horrible outside, horrible inside - there were very few things opened. Luckily, i must add, such an offensive place was nearly deserted back then (1995)

Helpfulness
I have seen very little. I kept walking and walking, just savouring the new surroundings and the atmosphere - occasioanlly being stopped by someone who gave me a leaflet, in Spanish, about some school of English in town. And finally: one great sight: a fantastic, wonderful church: Our Lady of Guadelupe in the Main Plaza: I really enjoyed the architecture, old paintings and the nice altars.

mjd74 Says: I would recommend that you go to Chihuahua instead of Ciudad Juarez. It is a few hours away by car, but the city is so much friendlier as well as a heck of a lot cheaper.Chihuahua is one of my favorite cities in all of Mexico Looking at the bad 80's hair cuts.
mjd74 Says: my title will tell youeverything that you need to know about Ciudad Juarez. Nothing and I do mean absolutly nothing is produced here. All of the goods or trinkets that you may find that are made in other Mexican cities, can be found here at a rediculasly high marked up...
call_me_rhia Says: Mexico's 5th largest city, Ciudad Juarez and I graced such giant with only one day, of which - even more shamefully - i spent the half shopping. So forgive this page, totally unauthoritative - it's mostly to store my memories. Anyway, my fondest memory was figuring out a...

OK, so it isn't El Paso or even the US for that matter, but it was the closest city to Paquime listed on VT that I could find!! This park is actually located about 50 miles SW of Juarez, Mexico, which...
The Good and Bad of Juarez Mexico
The town of Ciudad Juárez is just across the Rio Grande from El Paso Texas. In fact El Paso and Juarez were part of the same town until the 1848 when the treaty of Guadalope Hidalgo split the town in...
Mullets, thieves and homeless are some of the many things that you will encounter in this city. I spent 4 days waiting to get my fiancee's visa ok'ed. While there, I dont think that a moment went by...
