Puebla is situated just a short distance away from Mexico and is one of the top tourist destinations in the region. The city is filled with stunning European architecture from the 17th century. Puebla is also home to four volcanoes, one of which occasionally shouts out water and ash. The city has a nice selection of restaurants that serve local Mexican treats as well as international gastronomy. There is also a quality selection of hotels on offer; however, it is recommended that advance bookings be made.
