    Amazing place, perfect to buy silver, real silver. Beautiful town, the church is breathtaking. Be ready to walk and spend some serious pesos here. Many restaurants, stores, bars and plenty of streets to explore.

    ES • EN Un obligado. La iglesia de Santa Prisca es un exquisito ejemplo de la arquitectura barroca novohispana en cantera rosa. Financiada gracias al impulso económico de la actividad minera durante mediados del siglo XVIII. A must to visit. Santa Prisca’s church is an exquisite representative of the New Spain’s architecture during its baroque period using pink quarry stone. It was financed thanks to the economic progress achieved by the mining activity over the middle XVIII century. So many details can take an entire afternoon to admire. IG c.e.marquez

    The church is amazing inside. The surrondings are good and there are a lot of good restaurants.

    Beautiful church in its own style. Unfornately, construction was being done when we visited last week, so we could not appreciate it. The church is located in Taxco Zocalo. If you go down the same street, you will find great wooden items, ceramics, and souveniers. Do not miss it.

    It’s currently undergoing maintenance repairs but it’s quite beautiful. It used to be the tallest structure in Mexico for some time

    Gorgeous plaza. Highly recommended to go up the church tower for awesome views of Taxco. We’ll worth the MX$50 and 100+ steps!

    What a beautifully designed church. It is the heart of the town. Beautiful Inside and out. Once inside everywhere you lay eyes on you see intricate designs. The silver Virgen de Guadalupe is life size and is a testament of Taxco being the capital of silver of Mexico. I know you can ask about climbing the towers to get a view of the city, we visited while they were doing baptisms and didn’t know who to ask but if you have the chance definitely do it!

    This is a big church. Very clean a d beautiful. I find a little creepy the statues on the walls but they go well with the baroque design of the Church.

    Lovely church in a charming little town. This is "silver city" so make sure to buy some fine silver. There's lots and lots of it! Though try to avoid religious holidays at it will be very crowded.

  • 5/5 Gabriela A. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful church. Visited during Semana Santa and it was very crowded. But also worth it.

  • 5/5 Roly R. 4 years ago on Google
    We absolutely loved this town. Such a great colonial city. The Church was beautiful but the scenic views of this city is what sets it apart from any city in Mexico.

👍👍 I loved the 360 view, it's simply expectacular. You don't have to pay or buy any tickets to get to this beautiful sightseeing spot. I had only one concern, and it is about safety. I could witness some visitors standing on top of the fence to get a better picture taken of themselves. That was extreme...

👍👍 Downtown is the perfect place to hang around with friends, family or just by yourself. You will find delicious food, fantastic spots for pictures and local people are really kind to you. For some this is not that important but throughout our experience we found out that this is a pet friendly town.

😠 Not worth it!!! Omg! You will feel cheated. Not only is it expensive for a 5 minutes ride to a hotel that is lucrative but you have to pay to come back down too. It's not a round trip and I'm sorry to say this, but the view is not that great from that side of town. I rather you go see The Statue of...
