It was an amazing experience!!!

If you're in the area go!!!

You can also purchase souvenirs and have them blessed to take home. I recommend purchasing inside the basilica and not in the stores nearby. Or you could if you so choose and then tale them to get blessed

We got rained on during our visit but it was still so worth it !

Definitely a must visit if you're in Mexico City

Basilica in Guadalupe is a huge site. It is a Christian Catholic religious site. It has huge historic significance. It is one of the early site where a church was built and became popular among the locals. Later on, it became a significant site when Miguel Hidalgo included its symbol, and when U.S. and Mexico signed peace treaty there. There are a number of churches and chapels there. This is incidentally the second largest visited Catholic site after the Vatican. The new Basilica is an architectural beauty.

Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe and it was absolutely stunning. The old basilica had a 2.7% tilt, which was corrected to 2% in 2002, stabilizing the structure. The architecture and design of the church left me gasping and gave me chills all over my skin. However, I do recommend having a guide with you to explain the rich history behind this incredible landmark. It can get quite crowded, so plan accordingly. If you're planning a visit to Mexico City, this is a must-see destination!

Very beautiful place, really recommend getting your picture taken when going up to the original church. The pictures are cheap and very beautiful. There’s a store on top that is very affordable. Very beautiful view. I also recommend staying for the entire mass.
WARNING: if you go to the mercado to get food go in a group there’s a restaurant that will basically surround you a pressure you into their food when there is much cleaner and better options behind them. There’s much better food out of the basilica to but just don’t go to that group.

If you are here for the spiritual part then there is nothing to complain about. However if you are expecting something similar to Fatima or Lourdes you may get a bit disappointed. The architecture of the new basilica is not my favourite. Also there is this massive concrete square that makes the place feel less welcoming. The old basilica and the other facilities are beautiful.

For devout Catholics with a special love for the Blessed Virgin Mary, a visit to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe can be transformative. This sacred site holds a special place in the hearts of millions, and it truly exemplifies the deep devotion and spirituality that radiate from every corner.

The high Mass held at the Basilica filled me with a heightened connection to the Divine and the closeness of the Blessed Mother.

Exploring the various shrines on the Basilica complex was like embarking on a sacred journey, each step deepening my appreciation for the miracles and blessings associated with Our Lady of Guadalupe. The atmosphere of prayer and reflection at the chapels dedicated to different aspects of Our Lady's intervention.

The garden walk surrounding the Basilica provided a peaceful respite amidst the bustling environment, allowing me to immerse myself in moments of contemplation and gratitude.

The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe is a pilgrimage destination that truly embodies the essence of Catholic devotion. The spiritual energy and the vibrant faith of the people who visit this holy site are inspiring. It is a place where one can witness the transformative power of faith and experience the loving presence of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

There are three churches. The largest one when you first enter is the new one, It holds the shroud / vestment/ robe that has the projection of the Virgin Mary. You view it on a moving walkway. (Which is awesome because no one stands in your way).
The second church is the old church, it's beautiful and houses many works of art.
The third chapel sits atop the mountain. It's about 8- 10 flights of stairs, but there are also ramps. The ramps are a very steep incline.
It's small, but absolutely stunning at the top. I highly recommend traveling to the top if you can. Photos are not allowed in the chapel on the top of the mountain.
Visitors are not allowed in the church during the hours of service (worship).

I have no words to describe how beautiful this place is. I went early so it was perfect. The later you go the more crowded it is. The museum is amazing. The art is beautiful. You feel a tremendous peace.
