A guide wire has a wire body which includes a first wire, and a second wire disposed on the proximal side of the first wire and joined to the first wire. A radiopaque coil is preferably disposed around a distal end portion of the first wire. Preferably, a proximal end portion of the first wire is substantially constant in outside diameter along the longitudinal direction, while a distal end portion of the second wire may be composed of a tapered portion of which the outside diameter is gradually increased in the proximal direction from the distal end thereof. Both the wires may be joined their end faces. The outer periphery of the joined portion is preferably provided thereon with a coating layer.
