  1. A

    Palacio de Gobierno

    The courtyard of the handsome, 19th-century state government building features fantastic 1950s murals by Aarón Piña Mora showing the highly eventful history of Chihuahua. Authorized guide Óscar Mazón is usually on hand here from noon to 4pm to give an excellent explanation of the paintings in English, French, Italian or Spanish for M$200 – or you can get a free booklet on them in the tourist office.

  2. Grutas de Nombre de Dios

    These warm caves on the northeast edge of town have some impressive stalagmites, stalactites and other rock formations, making the one-hour, 17-chamber underground journey fun, especially for kids. To get there take either a taxi (M$70) or a ‘Nombre de Dios Ojo’ bus (M$6) from outside Posada Tierra Blanca on Niños Héroes. Ask the driver to tell you when to get off.
