1. The water parks (natural and artificial): El Rollo, Las Estacas, and Las Huertas
2. The good-humored dance: professional and amateur couples dancing on the main square on Friday evenings (and also on Tuesdays and Sundays)
3. The ‘main street’ for eating tacos, Nueva Inglaterra, especially the taqueria called Granodel Oro
4. The nightlife is so busy that even domestic tourists from the capital flock here on weekends.
5. The cool holiday buildings and haciendas, which, however, are hidden everywhere by the high walls.
6. Going early every morning to the fruit juice stand in the main square to try some new mixture
7. The Robert Brady Museum, formerly Casa de la Torre - Was our favorite among the attractions in Cuernavaca.
8. The detour to Taxco, the ‘silver city’ full of cobbled streets
9. UBER is ridiculously cheap (especially compared to taxi prices back home) – a 10-minute drive costs just 55 pesos ($3) - For that much, a taxi driver in Budapest wouldn't even give us a disapproving glance.
10. The high and hilly skyline
11. There are hardly any foreign tourists, and the positive effect of this is that the service providers (including taxi drivers) have not learned the traditional con techniques.
12. We ate the best at Chilys - an actual TexMex selection.
13. We wanted to see a cooler neighborhood, and we succeeded: Vista Hermosa
14. We never felt in danger for a moment. Maybe the sketchy, dangerous guys and gang members are all already in jail, or did we stay on different streets?
• The Zócalo, the main square, and the Jardin Borda (park)
1. Some of the taquerias that serve tacos are disgusting from a hygienic standpoint
2. We didn't feel safe on foot in the suburbs after dark, so we quickly took a taxi back to the center
3. Insects also like the subtropical climate, and there were a few cockroaches in our hotel room
4. We got into an illegal taxi once, and we were glad that he just scammed us and there was no robbery
5. There is too much traffic and noise – we expected a quieter city
6. At the time we were there, the main square was closed, and that annoyed us
7. Always look in front of your feet on the sidewalk. There are a lot of missing cobblestones and also a lot of garbage
8. There are many dirty, run-down parts
9. We read in several places before traveling that this is a university city. Well, we didn't see many students, although we were there on a weekend
10. If you walk, you have to calculate not only the downhills but also the ascents
11. Many other Mexican cities have more beautiful squares than the ones here
12. It is nicknamed the ‘City of Eternal Spring’; well, in February, we experienced temperatures of nearly 30 degrees.
13. Not much money is spent on impressing tourists; most of the sights are neglected and shabby to one degree or another.
14. Compared to Puebla, Cuernavaca is not a sensational tourist destination.
15. Many streets have uncomfortably narrow sidewalks, if at all.
