Top Attractions in Tijuana
💡 Go early morning to avoid the crowds and get a clear shot without tour buses blocking the view. It’s lit up at night too.
💡 Free entry every day. The building itself is worth a look—original cell bars are still visible. Allow 30–40 minutes.
💡 Combine with a visit to the free murals inside the lobby. The garden has benches and is quiet—good for a break. The dome building (IMAX) has separate paid shows.
💡 Try the dried chilli peanuts from the bulk stalls—they’re a local snack. Bargaining is not expected for food, but you can haggle on crafts. Arrive before 1pm for best selection.
