One of the largest indoor markets in the Americas. Disorganized as only a Mexican market can be, Mercado Libertad offers a wide selection of EVERYTHING, except booze. From shoes to saddles, clothing, pets, kitchenwares... you get the idea. If you're in Guadalajara this market is definitely worth a visit. And if you're planning on exploring it properly, you'll need most of an afternoon. Pro-Tip: I've heard of a lot of people getting lost in this place. If your sense of direction isn't that great, start at the corner of the massive jewelry store nextdoor, and set a GPS marker on your phone before you go in.

Actually I was very happy making a stop here. Had breakfast at one of the stands on the second floor. And bought plenty of souvenirs. Super affordable if you're on a budget! I don't think I spent more than $8 on food for my wife and I. And no more than $25 on gifts. Try the crunchy barbacoa tacos shown in the picture. Soooo Gooood!!! 😋

Massive market that has almost anything you can think of. Lots of shoes and fairly well made knock offs of luxury brands. Food court is quite large with a lot of variety. Nice to check off the list when exploring in the area, can pair it with seeing the cathedrals and old town.

such a cute plaza!! the mercado is beautiful, not too overwhelming, but full of culture. the architecture is amazing and there are so many beautiful fountains and statues. this city has some great history and I've completely fallen in love with it. also many great museums that unfortunately the majority are closed on Mondays which is when I went walking downtown/in el centro. I'll have to save it for another visit in the future😁

We bought lots of souvenirs and gifts here. The prices were quite reasonable and you could also haggle if you buy several things and ask nicely. The people there were very sweet and willing to help. One lady at one of the places there asked what we were looking for in fluent English. Maybe we looked lost. We told her we were looking for hand made souvenirs and she kindly explained where to go. Cash is definitely the king here. Some vendors do accept credit cards but they often charge you a fee and you wouldn't be in a good position to haggle at that point. The market could look a bit intimidating to North Americans but once you are in there you will quickly realize that this is a place where a bunch of hard working people are trying to make an honest living. Be polite and use common sense to be aware of your surroundings, and you will have lots of fun shopping and eating.

This place is pure insanity. Vendors EVERYWHERE. You can get pretty much whatever you like...ironically except for liquor. Lots of food options too. Never felt uncomfortable as an American tourist.

Biggest indoor market in Guadalajara maybe even the world. They specialize in knockoff items some of which are reasonable quality. They had a whole area full of Jordan's and designer bags. It's really easy to get lost in this place. The food area is huge with all sorts of street food. A word of cation do not wear any gold or jewelry and make sure you keep you wallet and phones in your front pockets. This place has a pickpocket reputation. We did not have any issues but we were warned.

Whatever you can think of, this place has. In mexican antiques and knickknacks souvenirs, etc. Food, everything under 1 roof as well. This place is just a spot in the world that has variety of variety. Careful with some locals however, did not happen to me but I've heard they can tend to be real sneaky on how to snatch your phone and wallet away from you. Safe travels!

Fantastic market with a massive selection. Eat at “Super Antojitos- La Casa del Autentico Torito” the second counter restaurant when you come down the stairs from the walking bridge. It has al pastor on a spit and the BEST tacos I’ve had in Guadalajara. Fresh toppings, delicious meat and amazing tortillas. Do not eat at Sabor a Mexico (the first restaurant down the stairs). We ordered the Carne de Puerco en Chile (lower left dish on the flyer) and got a dish with mostly bones and hardly ANY meat. We’ve eaten at other places in the market and had delicious food. This place isn’t what you’re looking for! at the next stall… Definitely get some of the unusual fruits you find. We LOVED the small red seed pods (lower left of my photo). The reddish yellow fruits in the right are also delicious.

This place is amazing, sooo much to do and everything you'd want to buy. It's like it never ends..located in Guadalajara Mexico 🇲🇽 so beautiful and exciting experience it was. The food...oh my 😋

Huge market, lots of things to buy and delicious food to eat. Best to get there early so you can spend a decent amount of time there

Good place to visit, be careful with price gouging. Make sure you ask for prices and double check. I found a cockroack on my straw and the food had no taste. DO NOT EAT AT THIS LOCATION, this is the place I am talking about Carnes Asadas Los Tonos. I ordered barbacoa tacos and they brought something else, I overheard them saying we will just charge them anyways. Be warned

Nice market place n people too. I don't know Spanish but I bought lots off handcrafted stuff because of the people there as they are so interested to talk to me(using Google translator). This market changed my perception about Mexico what I heard from people, it is so safe, no cheating n helping people. We have public transport too as taxi is little expensive for short travels.

"San Johnny shopping center" as it's mocked on a regular basis by the locals, thrives on stories to tell and people to force you into buying something from their stands. It has piracy, local food, fresh fruits and vegetables and dry meat, local leather products that make nice and sometimes a lascive souvenirs. But if you find by chance the middle of the market, you can sit a bit and enjoy how everyone else's life goes around yours. That's something I enjoy every time I can, and if you're visiting, at least give it a try. . Ps. It's a local market also, so be careful about your stuff and it feels kinda dirty tho.

If you want to buy silver, gold or diamonds, this is one of the places you have to go they sell everything from rings to nexkless to engagement set's. The prices are very good and you have tons of places you can get them from

Super great experience. Music,food, a lot of options from travel suveniers. Ambiance is diverse!. Fresh fruits to choose from, all kinds of aguas frescas ice cream you name it!

How happy I was there!!!! I just can imagine Guadalajara with no San Juan de Dios!!!! NO it has to be a nightmare. I am very, very sorry for your lost Tapatíos.

Huge mercado!! You have to see it and get lost in it haha food is good and cheap price too !

Love the different shops that are here. Just watch your surroundings

Mercado Libertad used to be called mercado San Juan de Dios. It has grown and expanded over the years. It has everything you may need. The only issue is trying to find what you need or want. From the fake purses and clothing to souvenirs and Mexican delicacies. If you are foreign be prepared to barter as you will get a very high price to start with. As an American I am always spotted by the locals but I know how to get around and barter with the best of them. If the price is not right to my liking I just walk away. Then I get followed by the seller quoting me lower prices until I get a price I am comfortable with. Otherwise I go to other the next stand and tell them the lowest price quoted at the previous stand until they quote me something better. I may still pay a higher price than the locals but I don't pay foreigner prices. The food court is a variety of restaurants offering all kinds of Mexican dishes. Some are similar with sellers telling you why their food is better. Overall your pallet decides your craving. Mercado Libertad is nice for a good browse through. An experience to be remembered.

Absolutely gigantic market with a great selection of produce. Most importantly, monster tortas from competing stands on the bottom deck. Most people only order a half, but I was inclined to eat the whole thing a few times. Carrots and peppers as a garnish. Can get a bit messy, but it's worth eating quickly while the bread is hot and crispy. Dozens of fresh tortas constantly sizzling on the surrounding grills.

HUGE multi-level market with anything you need. From cooked food to raw, tech items, clothing and souvenirs. You can spend a whole day here just checking everything out. You will also find a mixture of traditional and modern items. If you love markets, you'll definitely love this one.

Easily the best food in Guadalajara! You can find all the local Jalisco delicacies here in a very traditional environment and don’t worry, the government has set very strict rules for cleanliness and hygiene! Try Barbacoa Felipe!

Place is full of street food. Lots of options and good prices.

Gold bonanza galore. Dont come here looking for a bargain. Its very expensive & they mostly sell cheap grade hollow 10K. 14K is a rarity at astronomical prices.

You can find anything here! Clothes, food, snacks, shoes, technology souvenirs you name it! Sometimes you can negotiate prices too! Tortas Locas here are a MUST! I was able to try an ice pick ice cream. It was walnut flavored yum!! There is so much culture to soak in here. I loved every moment and can't wait to come back!

Great prices and lots of options to buy souvenirs and traditional candy... Also they have a great variety of places to eat traditional food at great prices..

Excellent place for shopping, sugarcane juice is healthy and delicious

One of the world's largest and busiest markets. Everything is available here. A must see if you ever find yourself in Guadalajara.

Great food! Cheap prices! Everything you need you may find here.

Rich cultural & unforgettable experience. Can't wait to get back.

Great place to shop. It has a lot of the same in every aisle, so makes it easy to bargain. Only problem is you have to watch your belongings. A cell phone was snatched out of our friend's hand.

You can find virtually anything you want in here, the place is huge and it has a wide variety of food and items to buy, you just have to be careful not to get scammed!

Big place, lots of good stores.make sure you go visit the tortas down stairs. Amazing

A fun place to come, it's packed with good food and lots of shops. You'll need to sharpen your bargaining skills as most things are significantly marked up on the first offer. The vendors are eager to help with being too pushy. One of the negative things is that before the pandemic there were a lot more independent shops. Now a lot of the shops are very very similar in selection (they all use the same suppliers) I miss more of the variety of shops that used to be here.

An overwhelming, tour de force for the senses. If you need it, you can probably find it somewhere in here, but most of the joy for tourists is just found in wandering and taking it all in.

Very cool place to visit, better if you have a local guide to show you around. Tricky to navigate with the kids, they were a bit overwhelmed by everything.

The foods were the highlight. The overall experience is a true tourist trap. Besides going for something specific you can easily get sucked into buying a knockoff of everything from jewelry to handbags and shoes.

Literally not a single thing you can’t find on this market. Think replica sportshirts, replica watches, watch streps, remote controls, gadgets, clothes, food etc. Very small alleyways and busy atmosphere.

This place is so much fun. Lots to do, see and buy!!

Everything in one place. If you need clothes, shoes, purses, belts, toys or souvenirs, this is the place to be. My favorite is El Palenque for Goat soup and sandwich.

So much to see and buy. There is a variety of amazing authentic handcrafts and vendors as well as delicious food.

Giant place! Food, clothes, hand made souvenirs, and Mexican specialties. Tiny hallways multiple benders.

Buen lugar para los mayorista

Faltan medidas de seguridad frente a la pandemia

Encueentras todo lo que busques, en cuanto a Higiene un poco descuido,

Best tacos ever. From the little business call. Taqueria URUAPAN

Great experience when you go to Guadalajara. It is a must even if to just see the culture. The prices aren't as good anymore. I found it to be a bit pricey compared to other centers.

Fresh vegtables every day. Good for your produce supply

Crazy place to find anything and everything you may want or need. A lot of stuff looks and could be fake but just go for the food and the experience of the electricity that runs through this place. You will find what you need.

Mercado con mucha historia, encuentras muchas cosas interesantes.

We had the privilege of having a Tour Guide take us through the Biggest Indoor Market in all of Latin America. We also had the privilege of eating "Tortas" at his grandfather's business of 60 years, I was impressed. 1) Size of the Tortas 2) Price of the Tortas 3) The service Thank you Sergio 👍

A massive and delicious selection of fruits. And candies. And other Goods.

I love this open market. It had the best variety of hard goods and fresh products. The only drawback that made me uncomfortable was the number of vendors and customers that were not wearing masks, (Circa Jan 2021). While the marketplace is not the best place to be socially distanced, I will definitely wear a double.mask on next visit.
