How To Spend Two Days In Puebla, Mexico

A two-day itinerary in Puebla, Mexico, centers on colonial landmarks, Talavera pottery and standout local cuisine. Puebla, the country’s fourth-largest city, is known for its intricate, hand-painted Talavera and dishes such as mole poblano, made with chocolate and chiles. Visitors in August or September can also try chiles en nogada: poblano peppers stuffed and topped with walnut sauce and pomegranate seeds. The plan begins with a stay at the Forbes Travel Guide-recommended Grand Fiesta Americana Puebla Angelópolis, a 168-room hotel in the Angelópolis district. Day one includes the Zócalo, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, Biblioteca Palafoxiana, Museo Amparo and lunch at El Mural de los Poblanos, plus shopping in local markets and Cultivo for dinner.
