Local knowledge for Puebla
Where to stay
Most hostels sit within a few blocks of the Zócalo in the Centro Histórico, concentrated along streets like Calle 5 de Mayo and near Barrio de los Sapos to the southeast. Staying here puts the cathedral, the craft markets, and the best taco spots all on foot, so you rarely need to figure out the bus system for your first few days.
Getting around
- Skip the restaurants facing the Zócalo itself and walk a block or two toward Barrio de los Sapos, where the same mole poblano costs noticeably less and the tables are easier to get.
- ADO buses run frequently between CAPU, Puebla's main bus terminal on the north end of the city, and TAPO in Mexico City in roughly two hours. Book online a day ahead rather than showing up on a holiday weekend and paying whatever is left.
- Cinco de Mayo is a far bigger event in Puebla than almost anywhere else in Mexico because the 1862 battle actually took place here. If your trip falls in early May, lock in your hostel at least two to three weeks out or prices spike and beds disappear.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest in January and again in September. They fill up fastest during Semana Santa in March or April and the week surrounding Cinco de Mayo in early May.
