Best things to do: Don’t be fooled by the fact that Puerto Vallarta is a major resort town. This is a place with plenty more to unlock and discover. It has a historic centre for a start and is a great place to head out fishing and snorkelling. The Puerto Vallarta Malecon is an escapade with sculptures. The Parroquia de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe is a splendid church and the Hill Cross Viewpoint has some spectacular views! For a bit of culture, head for the Olas Atlas Saturday Market and its local foods and crafts.
Best time to go: April and June are your months to consider visiting Puerto Vallarta. This is when the weather is pleasant and hotel rates are reasonable. It's actually during winter, between November and March when the tourists come. So you may find the area less crowded at this time. The rainy season is from June to October.
Getting around: You’ll find Puerto Vallarta is a very walkable destination. If, however, you do want to move further afield, then you’ll need transportation. The Urban bus is efficient and cheap to use. Remember when you board the bus, the fare remains the same however long you go on the bus.
