Where to Go, Eat, and Stay in Puebla Mexico

The Spanish colonial era left dozens of beautiful towns throughout Mexico, and now it becomes a tourist traps. And this trip takes me to the east of Mexico City, Puebla, which is known for its colonial era buildings, its stunning churches, and the original source of mole. And in 1987 the city was chosen by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Getting to Puebla from Mexico City

Puebla is 135-km east of Mexico City. It has several options to get there, but I highly recommend you to take a bus as it’s affordable and easy to get it. Most buses to Puebla are located at TAPO station, they cost around MXN$ 100 to 200 one-way and the journey will take about two hours. Or you can either grab a bus from Ángel Independencia, Polanco, Santa Fe, Wtc (https://ebus.mx) and its cost quite expensive about MXN 378.

Where to Stay

Hotel Diana

Looking for a strategic location? this hotel is perfect for you, it’s just a 5-minute walk from cathedra. It has a clean room, lack of noise, humble, and helpful staff. Breakfast is really simple just fruits, cafe/tea, toast bread, but you either can order another menu, such as chilaquiles, and the price is quite affordable. There is also a roof garden with a beautiful view. http://www.booking.com
