Question 2

Is Puebla walkable?

Accepted Answer

Puebla’s Centro Histórico is very walkable, with the Zócalo, Cathedral, Amparo Museum, Calle de los Dulces, and Barrio del Artista close together. The Forts Zone and Cholula sit farther out.

RUTA BRT Line 1 along Boulevard 5 de Mayo connects the centre with the Forts, and city buses and colectivos signed Cholula run from 11 Norte or CAPU to the Great Pyramid. For a comfortable outing to the forts and nearby towns, consider a private tour in Puebla that includes private transportation.
