Puebla is a fascinating mix of Baroque, Renaissance, and Classic architecture that never fails to impress visitors. Joining Free Tours in Puebla, you will understand why the historic center of this colonial city founded in 1531 is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Everything in Puebla revolves around the Zocalo, the large square where Poblanos meet to chat, eat churros and camotes (a traditional sweet). Presiding over the square is the imposing Cathedral, with tall bell towers and a unique Renaissance style. Not far is the Chapel of the Virgen del Rosario, famous for its striking baroque altar. Also, make sure to pay attention to the many rainbow houses covered with tiles you will find on the Puebla Free Walking Tours; this peculiar architecture accounts for a large part of the city’s charm!

Things to Do in Puebla

Food is one of the reasons why so many national and international tourists love Puebla. This city boasts of being the cradle of ‘mole’ (a thick sauce made with chocolate, nuts and spices that takes ages to prepare), but there are many more typical dishes to taste. From ‘chiles en nogada’ (stuffed chiles topped with a cream sauce) to ‘cemitas’ (a pulled pork sandwich) to the many signature sweets you will find in Sweet Street. Puebla is also a great place to shop for affordable souvenirs. Check out the touristy Parian Market or go window-shopping around the Artist’s Quarter. If you want to explore local culture, then visit the extensive display of pre-Hispanic art at Museo Amparo, or explore the Palafoxiana Library, recognized by UNESCO as the oldest library in the Americas. Finally, don’t leave without taking a day trip to the beautiful town of Cholula!
