), off Plaza Tapatia, where there is also a tourist information booth run by the city council. In addition, there are information booths at the Central Camionera and the airport, as well as a free tourist information phone line from elsewhere in the country (tel 0800/363-2200).
Although any of the banks throughout the centre - the cluster including Banamex and Bancomer around Corona and Juarez, for example - offer currency exchange , casas de cambio, many of them around the corner of Maestranza and Lopez Cotilla, are quicker, open slightly longer and offer almost identical rates. After hours, the bigger hotels will usually change money at a considerably worse rate. Most banks have ATMs .
Guadalajara's main
post office
(Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, Sat 9am-1pm) is at Venustiano Carranza 16, the junction with Independencia. Casetas for long-distance
