It’s one of the must visit places in Puebla. Here are some others: Transportation from Paseo Destino back to Mexico City. Both ER and ADO go to the airport but I’ve learned about a bus option directly into the city or on to Santa Fe. (There is an app) The Ebus depart from Puebla at various times each day with destinations such as Santa Fe or near Reforma on Rio Tiber Terrapuerta Angel. A way to avoid TAPO or CAPU. And probably will put you closer to your Mexico City destination then.TAPO or Aeropuerto. About 450 pesos. I had the opportunity to book and use it for the first time in May, going from Mexico City to Puebla and it was great. On a tranquil Sunday, it was 2 1/2 hours.

Read moreEl Parian is an arts and crafts market near Centro Historico in Puebla Mexico. In here you will find the famous Talavera pottery as well as other local goods at a very good price compared to the rest of the country. Feel free to bargain if you are buying more than 1 object. They will give you some discount. Near El Parian market walking towards the cathedral, you will also find a smaller market like place where indigenous people and other merchants sell their goods at a better price, however, since they are already selling at a very low price, i wouldn't ask for an additional discount (that's my personal opinion). keep in mind they have to eat. In fact some of those Parian merchants buy from them to resale.
There are a lot of national and international tourists so i can say it is a safe enough area. Still don't get too comfortable...
