    Awesome view of the town. 3 ways to get up there. First is a taxi. Second is a a little Tram train that goes up the mountain. Third is climbing thru the sidewalks that go up the mountain. Having a drink at the top is worth the effort.

    (Translated by Google) After all it is a World Heritage Site, and the case is different. Once you see the scenery you can see from here, you will never forget it. Colorful buildings and old town. The Roman buildings are overflowing. It's a little difficult to climb because the altitude is a little high, but I forget it as soon as I see the scenery. You can feel the history of the one-sided concrete building. If you walk around the town, take a photo It's a picture everywhere. There is also a souvenir shop run by Japanese people near the parking lot. Don't forget to go sightseeing on the kissing path and shopping at the Hidalgo market. Souvenirs at the market are a must. Moreover, it's cheap. (Original) やはり世界遺産、格が違う。 ここから見える景色は、一度見たら忘れない。 色とりどりの建物と、古い町。 ローマちょうの建物が溢れている。 標高が少し高いので上るのがちょっぴり大変だが、景色を見たら直ぐに忘れる。 一面コンクリートの建物で歴史も感じられる。 町も歩いては写真をパシャパシャ、 どこをとっても絵になるなー。 日本人がやってるお土産屋も駐車場近くにあるよ。口づけの小道の観光と、イダルゴ市場での買い物も忘れずに行ってね。市場でのお土産は、必須ですよ。しかも、安いんです。

    The Monumento Al Pipila is one of the best places to take photos of the landscape and buildings. If you are in Guanajuato this place is great!

    Very large statue of the first hero of Mexican war of Independence. The statue has a large viewpoint located next to it, there are also many vendor stalls behind it but do bring cash as the vendors do not accept credit cards and i did not see an ATM up there. The statue can be accessed for a nominal fee, something like 30 pesos, but there is not a whole lot inside and the viewing area is a claustrophobic glass cage with poor ventilation.

    ディズニー映画リメンバー・ミーの舞台となり、昼間はカラフルに見えて夜は夜景へと変わる。天気がよくみはらせれた。車で行くと大変混み合い、永遠とバスが優先で帰れない。現地でチケットを買うことができ、ロープウェイで下からピピラの丘まで行くとより景色を楽しめる

    Best view in the city. Must see. Ps, climbing to the statue is totally not necessary - doesn’t see much more over there for $5.

    Best location to overlook the old town of Guanajuato. It’s either 10min walk or 3min cable car. I recommend to walk and you will see well decorated housing along the road. The town is so colorful and we will definitely come back again!

    Beautiful panoramic views to a colorful, unique city! You can get there by a taxi 70 pesos each way, funicular 35 pesos per person one way, or walk. You will be amazed by the combination of bright colors of this city.

    Great meet point, monument up on a hill has a full view of mostly the whole city, it also seems many tour guides meet. You are able to catch a tour without having to book online

    Do not eat at Centro. There's a place at the top by this monument that's fantastic. You'll be sorry if you don't listen. It's a great view and a great monument to learn about. It's worth the drive up or the cable car ride

    This monument is beautiful at night. The whole city of Guanajuato is visible from up there. Set back though is that you have to walk down many many steps! Tiring!!

    コロナ拡散前の2020年2月に訪れました。 グアナファトを一望できるピピラの丘!雰囲気を味わおうと歩いて頂上まで1人で行きましたが、治安のことを考えると無難にロープウェイを使った方が良かったなあと思いました。帰りは暗くなったので、もちろんロープーウェイです。 美しい街並み!映画“リメンバー・ミー”の映像美を圧倒的に上回る美しさ!ただ風景を見てるだけで満足感を味わえます! この美しさとココに生きる人達の豊かさがイコールでないのが何とも言えない。。それでも皆さん強く生きています。日本人も見習うべきだと思いました。 P.S. ここのspinoteに何て書いたか忘れてしまった^^;

    グアナファトを代表する観光地です。麓からケーブルカーで3分ぐらいです。グアナファト中心部が一望でき、カラフルな街並みを楽しめます。私はピピラの丘の向かい側の高台に宿泊しました。カラフルな街並みは向かい側からの方があったように感じましたよ。

    Our cousins brought us and parked up along the street to take the trolly down to center and back. Beautiful views and plenty shops and stalls to fill you up. We had our own bottle and poured ourselves over a cantarito.

    夜景はとても綺麗😍映画、リメンバーミー、cocoの死者の世界のモデルになったとも言われ有名。ここにくるまでのバスにもリメンバーミーが見られます。この丘は歩いて行けますが、結構な坂です。帰り道は変な人も多いので歩いて帰るのは気をつける必要があります。

    Definitely a MUST, whether it is during day or night I doubt there's another spot from which you can enjoy such a nice view of the city or Guanajuato. Near there you can find a lot of typical Mexican snacks I had a "Guacamaya" which is a "torta" (sandwich) made out of pork rinds with avocado, tomato hot sauce lime and it's delicious 🤤 ... During night time the monument is lit up.

  • 5/5 Robert B. 2 months ago on Google • 121 reviews New
    Busy spot on a weekend, tourists of all types. Fabulous views from the monument and surrounding areas. Lots and lots of vendors for local souvenirs

  • 5/5 Shaira B. 2 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    What a monument! What a view! Not only that but there are convinient vendors all around to enjoy a gordita and refreshing drink (that's a cantarito). All while enjoying the picturesque city below. Definitely take the tram and enjoy!

  • 5/5 Tommy P. 3 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    There is no option to purchase tickets ahead of time. Definitely recommend purchasing the tram unless you dont mind walking up a steep hill of stairs. Once you have reached top where Pipila is you have an amazing view of Guanajuato.

  • 5/5 Diana G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice place, to appreciate the city from the viewpoint, you can go up in the funicular ... and go down in it. You access it next to the Juárez Theater (Original) Bonito lugar, para apreciar desde el mirador la ciudad, puedes subir en el funicular....y bajar en el mismo.

  • 5/5 Jennifer P. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful view. A fun ride up the tram. Tons of vendors at the top to buy souvenirs anurse and lots of guides to tell you the history. Definitely worth definitely worth checking it out and at least seeing the view. Lots of different alleys & shops to explore.

  • 4/5 S.A. R. 1 year ago on Google
    Worth a trip to ride the tram, see the monument, and checkout the views. The overall experience was less than an hour. Nice break.

  • 5/5 T5X 0. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place to relax at the end of the day. Good vista point too. There are also some vendors up here. Busier during the weekends. Use the funicular to get up here. Or don't use the funicular, take the steps and get some exercise😂. It's hard though.

  • 5/5 Jesus R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing view of the city! Great spot to take a few snaps.

  • 5/5 Atsushi S. 3 years ago on Google
    You can look down on entire city of Guanajuajuato from Pipila hill. There are many one way street in the city anc could not drive there so I parked my car in the city and walked up the hill. It took around 15 minutes to clumb to the top using stairs with many houses on sides. If you want to save time, I suggest driving to the top as there is some parking space there. I only went there in the fternoon but should be beautiful in the evening as well.

    (Translated by Google) It is a narrow road, but you can go up by car and there is a parking lot. A great place to see the colorful buildings! The city was very crowded. (Saturday visit) (Original) 狭い道ですが、車で登って行け駐車場があります。カラフルな建物が一望出来る素晴らしい場所です! 街の中はとても混んでいました。(土曜日訪問)

  • 5/5 Linda G. 1 year ago on Google
    A must visit if your in town, stunning panoramic city views. Tons of vendors on top and seating areas. You can take the hard walk up or take the easy way up on the cable car up and down for a small fee. We’ve done both, and both are great experiences, but for my father who is 69 it is was a steep climb up.

  • 5/5 6439331 1 year ago on Google
    A must visit when visiting Guanajuato. The view is breathtaking & pictures don't do this place justice. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Pingping W. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Agent 8. 3 years ago on Google
    A beautiful and expansive view of the whole city. Take a taxi or a 20 minute hike for an amazing photo session. A must when visiting GTO! When you're ready to go downtown you can take the mobile transport (teleferico) and it'll drop you right behind the theater, Teatro Juarez.

  • 4/5 STERDAM 8 months ago on Google
    Nice to visit to overview the GTO. I recommend Funicilar to the top and walk down to the centro. In case of beverage, the price is better more inside stores.

  • 5/5 Jason D. 4 years ago on Google
    If you are in Guanajuato you have to come up here. It’s a beautiful view of this amazing city. You will get amazing pictures and can really see how beautiful the city is. There is also shopping, food, and drinks. You can also go up in the monument for even better views. It is breath taking as you can see from my pictures and videos. It had been over 20+ years since I had been here. So good to visit again. So much to see and do. This is an amazing thing to see. Hope you enjoy your time here. Also see the castle, ex-hacienda de san barro, the tunnels, the market, so much

    An absolute must for a first trip to Guanajuato. The view is incredible, and the walk down to the center is a perfect way to encounter Guanajuato’s colors and alleys. You can park on the side of the road near the Pipila or take a tram from the centro near to the Teatro Juarez

    Such a nice experience taking the cable car up and enjoying the views. There was an art teacher selling very nice watercolours of the area. We bought a few. Wish I had bought more. They are great gifts for friends. Then we made our way down through the winding narrow stone path ways, back to the centre of town, getting lost then finding our way again. We did this a couple of times during our stay. You can climb up through the inside of the statue on narrow stairs to a high point.
