Beautiful place fairly busy service is every hour on Sundays lots of things to see around the court.
An archaeology that will make you feel wow. amazing design and landscaping. View from the top is really good. Take hop in hop off and am sure you can spend more then an hour easily at this point. Very peaceful and calm.
The site is absolutely stunning. I would recommend going on your own rather than a group as I did. We only stayed an hour, but there are so many churches to see, an hour is not enough, you would need around two to three hours to see and enjoy it all. I didn't find the new basilica very interesting, it is a bit too modern for me, but the old basilica and the one at the top are amazing. It is very interesting to feel how the first basilica is sinking into the ground, it seems like you are climbing up a little slope when you are walking up to the altar. The one on the little hill has incredible mosaics.
Amazing! Both old and new basilicas. Incredible grounds, gardens and churches. Very beautiful place -- truly the Vatican of Mexico. Respect...
The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe is an extraordinary sanctuary that captivates the soul. Steeped in centuries of devotion, its beauty and significance transcend words. I urge everyone to visit this sacred place, to witness its grandeur and feel the spiritual embrace of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It's an experience of profound reverence and inspiration that will stay with you forever.
Eine sehr schöne Basilika. Man konnte sich alles genau anschauen und überall herein gehen. Das einzige Problem was ich hatte das ist aber mit Mexiko im generellen das es auch hier wenig Abfalleimer gibt und man oft den Müll mitschleppen muss.
Aber wenn man in Mexiko Stadt zu Besuch ist sollte man diese Basilika aufjedenfall anschauen!

We arrived on a Sunday holiday weekend and it was packed. In all honesty, it was a wonderful experience to see so many people spend their Sunday at services. An incredible pilgrimage site. My wife and I are by no means religious, however the sheer presence and overwhelming feeling from so many people is nothing short of incredible.
Amazing to see the scale of this place with five different churches and room for tens of thousands of pilgrims. None of the churches seem particularly spectacular, especially the newest one; quite a miss from an architectural standpoint. But if you have religious feelings, it could be a deeply moving experience to visit here.
Huge new church with great modern design, surrounded by 2 older smaller churches. The 2nd biggest christian pilgrimage site in the world, after Vatican.
Beautiful basilica. Intricate and meticulous decoration within. Very crowded and busy with both local visitors and tourists. Worth a visit
Basilica de Guadalupe is an essential visit for anyone, but as a Catholic, it holds a profound significance. The serenity and sheer beauty of the place engulfed me with a sense of peace and awe. Being able to witness the Virgen de Guadalupe multiple times was a deeply moving experience. This sacred site exudes a tranquility that touched my soul.
I made the trip to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe fifty years ago with my family and can remember as an impressionable fifteen-year-old seeing the faithful walk on hands and knees to the shrine. Now the devoted ride by the image of the virgen revealed to Juan Diego on a conveyor belt.
Beautiful Church. Most definitely something every believer should experience at least once in their life time. Feels very peaceful and spiritual. They do have parking near by. We went on a tour during the week and it was a lot less crowded than when we went on actual Sunday. They do the blessings on the side of the church for all your items and yourself as well. Mass its almost every hour and taking a walk to the chapel on the hill its a most.
It was an amazing experience!!!
If you're in the area go!!!
You can also purchase souvenirs and have them blessed to take home. I recommend purchasing inside the basilica and not in the stores nearby. Or you could if you so choose and then tale them to get blessed
We got rained on during our visit but it was still so worth it !
Definitely a must visit if you're in Mexico City

Basilica in Guadalupe is a huge site. It is a Christian Catholic religious site. It has huge historic significance. It is one of the early site where a church was built and became popular among the locals. Later on, it became a significant site when Miguel Hidalgo included its symbol, and when U.S. and Mexico signed peace treaty there. There are a number of churches and chapels there. This is incidentally the second largest visited Catholic site after the Vatican. The new Basilica is an architectural beauty.
Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe and it was absolutely stunning. The old basilica had a 2.7% tilt, which was corrected to 2% in 2002, stabilizing the structure. The architecture and design of the church left me gasping and gave me chills all over my skin. However, I do recommend having a guide with you to explain the rich history behind this incredible landmark. It can get quite crowded, so plan accordingly. If you're planning a visit to Mexico City, this is a must-see destination!
Very beautiful place, really recommend getting your picture taken when going up to the original church. The pictures are cheap and very beautiful. There’s a store on top that is very affordable. Very beautiful view. I also recommend staying for the entire mass.
WARNING: if you go to the mercado to get food go in a group there’s a restaurant that will basically surround you a pressure you into their food when there is much cleaner and better options behind them. There’s much better food out of the basilica to but just don’t go to that group.

If you are here for the spiritual part then there is nothing to complain about. However if you are expecting something similar to Fatima or Lourdes you may get a bit disappointed. The architecture of the new basilica is not my favourite. Also there is this massive concrete square that makes the place feel less welcoming. The old basilica and the other facilities are beautiful.

There are three churches. The largest one when you first enter is the new one, It holds the shroud / vestment/ robe that has the projection of the Virgin Mary. You view it on a moving walkway. (Which is awesome because no one stands in your way).
The second church is the old church, it's beautiful and houses many works of art.
The third chapel sits atop the mountain. It's about 8- 10 flights of stairs, but there are also ramps. The ramps are a very steep incline.
It's small, but absolutely stunning at the top. I highly recommend traveling to the top if you can. Photos are not allowed in the chapel on the top of the mountain.
Visitors are not allowed in the church during the hours of service (worship).

I have no words to describe how beautiful this place is. I went early so it was perfect. The later you go the more crowded it is. The museum is amazing. The art is beautiful. You feel a tremendous peace.
