Top Architecture in Puebla

Get there early, like around 9 AM, to beat the crowds. It’s way easier to stroll around and snap some photos without a ton of people in the way. Trust me, it makes a big difference!

Look for local artists selling their work. Sometimes you can find unique pieces that aren’t typically available at the touristy spots, and they can be cheaper too.

My advice is to check out the surrounding shops as well; some of them have amazing deals on pottery and textiles. You never know what hidden gems you might find!

Bargaining is totally the name of the game! Start low and don't be afraid to negotiate. I saved a bunch on souvenirs by just being a bit cheeky!

I recommend bringing a camera because this place is a photographer’s dream! But get creative with angles as regular shots won't do it justice. Also watch out for the bright glare in the late afternoon.

I think visiting on weekdays is better if you can swing it. I went on a Saturday and it was packed! The quiet weekdays let you appreciate the architecture more.

Check out the local galleries that offer art workshops; I found one that was super affordable and a fun way to engage with the local artists. Plus, you'll leave with a unique souvenir!

I suggest bringing some cash. A few of the smaller shops don't take cards, and you'll want to snag some handmade crafts that you might regret passing up.

I recommend checking out the views from the top of the hill. The climb can be a bit tiring, but it's totally worth it for those amazing photos!
