Which of these places will you definitely check out in Queretaro? Looking for other recommendations? Ask away in the comments!

[@tr.m.8831]

All of them!

[@lorabarton3403]

That might not have sounded right but the add was a lot of nature shots so I thought it was filler. The main reason I think it didn’t seem like a comercial was because your editing in this blog was really good!

[@AmericanEmpiric]

One of the best pastries that I've ever had - not just in Querétaro, but in my life - is the kouign amann at Galileo Panificio on the east side of Centro.

[@RobertBadgett]

My fave, too. I think that is the chocolate babka I posted about above.

[@deano7643]

Great list Alex! One of my favorites for coffee and breakfast is Galileo Panificio, they have the best egg/cheese sandwich on their own bread, which you can buy, it's delicious!

[@Anahisbeautylife]

So glad I found your channel! I’m from Southern California and I’ll be in Queretaro in about 3 months!! Can’t wait to visit. 🇲🇽

[@alex-wittman]

Woohoo, I hope you enjoy your time here, Anahi!

[@blairarmstrong1012]

Hey Alex!!!! Fantastic video! ❤ Drop in for a visit when you are in the area, I’m near El Faro, around the corner from your favorite lavenderia, Mercado de La Cruz.

[@alex-wittman]

Oooo, it sounds like you have a GREAT location, Blair 🤩

[@jamescalvert9256]

Got my resident card yesterday, largely thanks to you and of course Ivonne. Waited 9 hours at INM but walked out with my card.

[@alex-wittman]

Congrats, James! Way to go!

[@phildodd5532]

Excellent, Alex, and thanks.🤠🍉🍓🥑

[@alex-wittman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@eliseosalcedo3099]

La Compañía, also in Centro, is another good one for breakfast

[@mhfnet]

I am a fairly new subscriber and you convinced me to check out Queretaro, so thanks for your suggestions! We are coming to Queretaro soon and staying in Centro. What is your favorite marcado for produce and a supermercado for general groceries? Thanks!

[@alex-wittman]

I like Mercado La Cruz & La Comer!

[@raydelahanty334]

Mosher is killer - went there on your rec from a video last year! Amazing space, great food

[@vanlinh6659]

Wow, thank you so much! A really good video as usual and you've perfectly answered my question. To be honest, I'd want to repost all of your videos on the Ganjing World site. Your videos and channel name will remain unchanged. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

[@KH-nu7qb]

Montanea, Tosca and Begonia Mandarina are closed

[@RobertBadgett]

Cul y Cul restaurante and organic supplies
Galileo on Calle Cinco de Mayo has better chocolate babka than NYC!
El Mirador for views of the city. Short walk from below plaza. And on the way, look for breach in church wall where the siege of the city was ended by the Mexican Republican army.
Plaza de los Fundadores for street food and watching children play in the fountains
Parque Alameda. Short walk from above plaza.

[@alex-wittman]

Thanks for sharing, Robert!

[@jum3883]

Nice suggestions

[@maganablue1]

I’m planning to go at the end of this month to Querétaro, do you have a referral real estate to help us find a furnished house to rent for one month, November, I love your videos and I’m your number one follower !

[@mdrichards]

One month? In Querétaro your best bet is going to be Airbnb.

[@alex-wittman]

Hi, Albino! I agree with Michael's comment that your best best for a rental of less than a year is Airbnb.

[@RobertBadgett]

A small hotel with small habitaciones is Hotel Casa Aurora, near Plaza de los Fundadores. In the oldest colonia in Qro.
Nice people.

[@cynthiabaumhauer8403]

Is there a spa/gym that has a sauna in Querétaro?

[@sylviaastorga4196]

I’ve never been to Queretaro. We’re planning to visit & would like to stay near the center of the city near the zocalo. Where do you recommend to stay within walking distance?

[@alex-wittman]

Definitely! If it's your first time in Querétaro, I recommend staying in the centro histórico 🤓

Buen video

In general how much do dentist services cost in Queretaro? Stuff like a root canal, crown, cleaning, etc...

[@alex-wittman]

This video is from 2021, but it should still give you an idea! th-cam.com/video/WjbGrXKN4Mk/w-d-xo.html

[@ronaldojohnny7774]

Man I am so dying and jealous but at the same time so so impressed with Queretaro. I honestly love the vibe and feels like it’s almost like living in the US and/or Canada. It’s so much better the quality of life there than in Veracruz. If anybody here is in Queretaro, I am hoping to come visit as well as to live there. Hope to get some pictures and videos for my travel blog videos. (:

[@miguel-h]

9:29 nailed it! 😂

[@alex-wittman]

Yessss, I'm glad you liked my dad joke, Miguel! lol

[@genaroignot3332]

Hola Alex como estas?

[@debolada6650]

Is it difficult to buy a house directly from owner.

[@alex-wittman]

I've known people who have done it & I often see signs that say "trato directo"

[@chrischieff5784]

I would love to visit this city! Who would you recommend for a good tour guide? I’m honestly scared to travel from the airport to the city center, as this is my first international trip and I know minimal Spanish. Thanks I’m advance!

[@alex-wittman]

I have heard good things about tours with Uriel & he also offers driving services: biketourqueretaro.com/en/en-home/

[@j.777hemi2]

Alex, can you help us find a golf course rental, for several months?

[@alex-wittman]

I would recommend looking for an Airbnb in Juriquilla or Zibatá! You will likely need to rent a car as well.

[@j.777hemi2]

Did you find a good place for a massage?

[@alex-wittman]

I've heard the spa at Doña Urraca does good massages!

[@davebacon6194]

Olinka the most expensive place in Queretaro with cheap food quality. Forget it…do not even consider it if you don’t want to feel stolen

[@gensgreenmagic6871]

This may be a dumb question, but can you drink the tapwater in Mexico?

[@alex-wittman]

It's most common to purchase filtered water to drink.

[@gensgreenmagic6871]

@@alex-wittman This to me is a dealbreaker. If you can;t drink the water, or for that matter bathe or brush your teeth, you are in a very vulnerable position. What if your supply chain is disrupted? At least we have safe water here in the US, if nothing else.

[@alex-wittman]

@@gensgreenmagic6871 I bathe and brush my teeth with the tap water.

[@gensgreenmagic6871]

@@alex-wittman can you use it to cook with? Sorry to be a bit pedantic but I know someone who picked up an intestinal parasite in Mexico and was very ill for a long time. I really want to know what is safe and what isn’t. Thank you for your time.

[@alex-wittman]

@@gensgreenmagic6871 the quality of the water varies around Mexico just like it does in the United States. In Querétaro, I cook with the water & wash my produce.
