Free Tour of Puebla

The guided tour starts in the Puebla Town Square at the scheduled time, next to the central fountain. The tour explores the connection between Mexico and Europe, highlighting the facade of the Puebla Cathedral, designed in the Herrerian style from 16th-century Spain, emphasizing geometric precision over elaborate decoration.

The Spanish influence is also apparent in the Palafoxiana Library. The tour includes an introduction to this historic archive, one of the first established in the Americas, and you can later explore it at your own pace. Additional points of interest, such as the Regional Museum of the Mexican Revolution, will be noted for further exploration after the tour.

The tour continues to the Church of San Francisco, the first convent in the city. The route includes a visit to the artisanal market of El Parián and the Alley of the Frogs, with explanations of the unique name by the guide.

To conclude, the tour visits the grounds of the Santo Domingo Church and the Chapel of the Rosary, regarded as colonial highlights of Puebla's historic centre. The guided tour lasts for two and a half hours, ending in the historic centre's streets.
