Overview

Puebla is Mexico's fourth-largest city but feels like a manageable colonial town, with a UNESCO World Heritage center featuring over 5,000 colonial buildings, stunning talavera tile work, and one of Mexico's finest food scenes. The city invented mole poblano and chiles en nogada, and remains the center of traditional Mexican cuisine.

Highlights

• Stunning zócalo and Puebla Cathedral
• Talavera tile workshops and factories
