Looking for the best Queretaro Airbnbs?

You’re in the right place as I’ve called Mexico home since 2018, and I’ve stayed in 50+ Airbnbs all over the country — Querétaro included.

Querétaro is a UNESCO World Heritage city about 2.5 hours from Mexico City, known for its 74-arch aqueduct and colonial plazas — and some of Mexico’s best Airbnbs.

👀 Curious about my top pick? It’s the colonial house with a garage near Plaza de los Fundadores — check it out here.

The tricky part is that the historic center and Juriquilla are about 25 to 30 minutes apart, so where you stay shapes your whole trip. That’s where I come in!

I’ve hand-picked a list of places, all with nearly-5 star ratings, lots of glowing reviews, and Airbnb’s Guest Favorite badge.
