Audio Guide of San Marcos Garden

San Marcos Garden is a public space open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so you can visit whenever you prefer. However, we recommend going during the day or at sunset to better appreciate its architecture and lighting; you can check special events on the Aguascalientes Tourism website.

No, access to San Marcos Garden is completely free for all visitors. It is a public park maintained by the city, ideal for a stroll without spending money, unless you want to buy handicrafts or food in the surrounding area.

A relaxed visit usually lasts between 30 and 50 minutes, enough time to walk its paths, admire the statues, and rest on the benches. If you choose to listen to a detailed audio guide about its history or visit the adjoining temple, the visit could extend to an hour and a half.

Built in 1847, this garden is the heart of the famous National Fair of San Marcos and an icon of the city thanks to its pink quarry-stone balustrade. It is a site full of tradition where colonial history and local legends of Aguascalientes come together.

The liveliest time is during April and May, when the National Fair of San Marcos is held. If you are looking for peace and quiet, we suggest going at sunset on any other date to enjoy the pleasant weather and the park's romantic lighting.

Yes, the garden has wide, paved paths that are friendly for wheelchairs and strollers. Although there are some steps at the main entrances, there are access ramps to ensure that everyone can enjoy the walk.

You are in a prime location: right next door you will find Saint Mark's Temple, and just a short walk away is the legendary Monumental Bullring. You can also walk to the historic center to see the Basilica Cathedral of Aguascalientes.

Do not leave without trying the typical 'chaskas' (corn snacks) or having dinner around the garden; it is an essential part of the local Aguascalientes experience. We also recommend downloading an audio guide on your phone to discover the hidden stories behind every statue and corner of the garden.
