About the city
Puerto Vallarta, located on the Pacific coast of Jalisco, is one of Mexico’s most recognizable destinations for concerts, sporting events and evening entertainment. The city combines the atmosphere of a coastal resort, a lively cultural scene and a well-developed tourism offer that makes attending an event easy to turn into a complete stay. With hotels, restaurants, bars, promenades and gathering spaces spread along Banderas Bay, Puerto Vallarta is a practical choice for visitors who want to combine event tickets with a relaxed urban experience.
Transport connectivity is one of the city’s main advantages. Aeropuerto Internacional Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz (PVR) is located within Puerto Vallarta’s urban area, close to Marina Vallarta and the Hotel Zone, making it easier to reach accommodation, venues and sports locations. For getting around the city, local buses operated by UNIBUSPV / Integrados y Unidos de la Bahía S.A. de C.V., taxis, private transfers and main roads such as Avenida Francisco Medina Ascencio are commonly used. Visitors arriving by road can use Central de Autobuses de Puerto Vallarta in the Las Mojoneras area, with connections to major Mexican cities, while venues such as Centro Internacional de Convenciones de Puerto Vallarta, the Hotel Zone, the city center and sports grounds are easily reached by bus, taxi or organized transfer.
Puerto Vallarta’s tourism bonus is especially strong because an event can be complemented with a seaside walk, sightseeing in older neighborhoods and time outdoors. Before or after a concert, it is worth visiting the Malecón, the waterfront promenade known for its sculptures, bay views and lively street rhythm. In the center, Plaza de Armas and the church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe stand out, while Isla del Río Cuale and Zona Romántica, also known as Viejo Vallarta, offer a mix of narrow streets, galleries, restaurants and beaches. This connection between events, the sea, gastronomy and an old-town atmosphere is exactly what makes Puerto Vallarta an attractive destination for buying tickets and extending a stay.
