Located in Mexico’s mountainous central region, San Miguel de Allende is a hip, seductive city that charms visitors with its cobblestone streets and colonial architecture. It’s also a mecca for the arts, with two major art institutes and numerous galleries. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why so many foreigners (many of them American expatriates) call San Miguel de Allende home. Our favorite part? The absence of traffic lights, parking meters and neon signs make this a quiet and tranquil city. But don’t worry: Its nightlife is still alive and thriving!
