The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe is the most-visited Catholic shrine in the Americas and the spiritual heart of Mexico, drawing millions of pilgrims a year. Ride the moving walkway beneath the original 1531 tilma bearing the Virgin's image, then climb Tepeyac hill for gardens and city views. It gets overwhelmingly crowded around the December 12 feast day, and the surrounding neighborhood is workaday rather than scenic.
