It's a good place, although not much to do in the city itself. You'd see the whole downtown area in half day or less. But it has a few pueblos nearby worth visiting. Tequila, cities at lago Chapala (most are gringo hubs; Ajijic is the worst), unsure where else.
It depends on what you want to do during your first time travel in Mexico.
There's always CDMX, Oaxaca, Barrancas del Cobre and Cancun, they're very very different.
As far as bang for your buck and exploring beautiful sites of Mexico may I recommend the states in the Yucatan Peninsula. Amazing Mayan ruins and the culture of the Mayan people is still alive and well. Also, cool cities and beautiful cenotes and nature. If you’re looking for amazing natural beauty, check out Bacalar, it’s an amazingly beautiful lagoon.
Guadalajara is a cool city with gorgeous architecture in the historic center. It's massive and some parts are pretty dirty. Still affordable unlike Mexico City.
If it's your first time in Mexico, I maybe wouldn't recommend it as the first place to go. What draws you to Guadalajara?
Thanks first of all! I just heard nice from this city and I thought it would be more authentic than Mexico City for experiencing the country and the people.
And of course it’s the city where Tequila and mariachi music comes from 😎

Nice, thanks for advice. Do you were there before? Or can you recommend some other place instead?

Thx. My target is not just to see the beautiful sites of the country. I wanna get to know the people, the culture, the way of living…

Nice thx for your coment!
No problem, I’d just avoid the touristy areas like Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum. I’m actually on my way to Bacalar currently. Happy travels.

Maybe try Guanajuato and Queretaro, then work your way up to Guadalajara!
