The best photos of Queretaro aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Aqueduct will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Museo de Arte de Queretaro for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.

Hidden photogenic spots like Museo de Arte de Queretaro reward those who wander off the main path.
