About
This picturesque alley is so named because it is narrow enough for two lovers to kiss from opposite sides of the street.

The background story is apocryphal while the actual site is just another quaint alley in Guanajuato. Don't go out of your way to visit this site. If you are with someone you love, kiss him ort her in any of the dozens of equally quaint alleys. In fact, do it more than once. And skip the line.

This is just one of those places you have to go to in Guanajuato. if you have a partner or very good friend, take the time to go up to the balconies for a kiss. There is usually a guide at the bottom who for a small fee will take pictures with your phone. When we went it was not crowded and he took 45 photos and a video with my phone. I've walked by on weekends, and it gets a little crowded. During the week fewer people.

We had the opportunity to visit it twice, early in the day on our own and on an alley tour, I recommend the first one since there were fewer people and no one was pressuring us, we went just after lunch time and there were almost no people, we took a photo with our cameras and we went up to the balcony for the famous photo, don't be surprised because they insist that you go up and when you get there they charge you 50 pesos to enter each one, I think that they should at least warn you that they will charge you and not get there and Once cornered you don't even know what's up, they also offer you a rose for 30 pesos which is optional, but it's all for the perfect photo. We also went at night, we finished the alleyway there, there were a lot more people, there was a long line for the photo, and we ended up at the back, so the people who go to the photo plus those from the alleyways gathered together, So imagine, it's better to go on your own. Additionally, photos come out better during the day, with sunlight.

We were lucky to visit when there was no group there - it can get quite crowded, and the guide will yell - literally, to be heard - the story/legend of this alley, which is quaint and tragic.
You will be charged (of course) to go up to the actual balcony, but you can stand on the red step (signifying where the blood was spilled) and get a photo for no charge.
Visit the silver store right there at the beginning of the alley for a nice selection with fair prices.

This is one of those, "if you're in __________________, you have to do it" kind of things. Kiss your honey while each stands at either side of the narrow alley. You can do that for free, although you might have to wait for other tourists to get their photos taken. Or, you can pay someone to take you up to the actual balconies from which, legend has it, young lovers reached across to kiss over the alley. Most interesting is a sign that apparently offers to provide, for a fee, a companion to kiss if you don't already have one. Apparently, the fee is higher the more intimate you want the kiss to be.

Through the streets of Guanajuato it is common to hear about the Callejon del beso, a corner where, according to legend, a young couple used to meet to kiss "from balcony to balcony".
For me this memory is very nice since I have a very nice idea of ​​this visit since it is in the Secondary School and everything has a different perspective. It is a place that you can visit with your partner and also with your family.

Of course you must do this while in Guanajuato. We luckily had someone who could take our picture and tell us the story. We didn't feel the need to pay extra pesos to go up to the balcony. We visited on a Wednesday morning and there was only a few people there.

Took a walking tour through the city that led us here. Very picturesque and the colors and lighting are amazing! Highly recommend visiting the spot. Very popular and crowded but we only had to wait for a few minutes for our own photo op.

If you go as a couple, it is mandatory to stand on the red step and kiss as if you loved each other.....hahahahahaha. For a tip, people who tell you the legend take your photo with your camera or phone. Then they can each go up to the balconies and repeat the kiss. This costs 50 MXN each.

Like any tourist place, there is a line. But currently, apparently there is a conflict between the owner of the property where the balcony is and the merchants/photographers, to the extent that the owner places a black blanket on the balcony in the evenings, so your photo will appear with a blanket. The owner gives you access to the balcony, you take the photo upstairs (I don't know if she charges), during the day. The truth is that it is unpleasant that the balcony is covered, however, it is understood that it is private property. Over time, it would be best for that attraction to disappear.

Nothing much wait in line for your turn to do the little package or head straight in, Into the shop to the right of the alleyway. There is a staircase to the left. Go up, to leave they will advise to take another staircase it's ok it's like a oneway walk.
