El Malecón | The Boardwalk
Puerto Vallarta’s most classic tradition is to walk the boardwalk, drink a “tuba” and sit down to watch the sun go down. Or, if you prefer, you can watch it from a nice restaurant.
El Mirador de la Cruz | La Cruz Viewpoint
If you love going up a bunch of stairs, this place is ideal for you. You might be a bit tired once you get to the top, but it will all be worth it when you enjoy the incredible panoramic view of the entire bay.
Gringo Gulch
One of the oldest neighborhood of the historic downtown, adopted by those travelers who once came to Puerto Vallarta on vacation and ended up making it their home.

One block before getting to El Malecón and just in front of the Parroquia de Nuestra Señora del Refugio, you’ll find this traditional plaza full of green gardens and benches to take a break from walking around.
Playa de Los Muertos | Los Muertos Beach
How about eating a ceviche tostada or some fresh oysters while your feet are touching the sand? Ask for a “pescado embarazado”.
Plaza Municipal | Municipal Plaza
Between the Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe temple; one of the most representative icons in Puerto Vallarta, and the Los Arcos open theatre, where the breaking waves and the sunsets in the background are always part of the show.
Zona Romántica | Old Vallarta
