Overview

Querétaro has emerged as one of Mexico's most livable cities—a UNESCO World Heritage colonial center surrounded by modern prosperity from aerospace and automotive industries. The city consistently ranks among Mexico's safest, with excellent infrastructure, top universities, and sophisticated dining scene. A small but growing expat community appreciates the quality of life without tourist crowds. The walkable Centro Histórico offers colonial architecture comparable to San Miguel de Allende at fraction of the price.
