    Georgeous place in Puebla. This place is surrounded by restaurants, shops, a beautiful fountain and of course, the cathedral. You can walk along the paths and enjoy the culture and traditions.

    Really picturesque town square with restaurants, churches, lots of shops selling local or special hand crafted items. There are benches and a pretty water fountain. Make sure to get churros.

  • 5/5 M Razali P. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been here during the day and the view was good. But i went during the night and the view and atmosphere was even better. The zocalo was full with coffee shops and eatery places, so you would never run out of choice. Highly recommend to pay visit at night.

    A large central plaza that contains a small but a very nice park and is surrounded by colonial buildings on all sides. The park inside the plaza provides lots of shade and there are many benches to sit on. There is a nice fountain in the middle as well as a gazebo typical of Mexican central squares. Architecture surrounding the plaza feels very European. Some restaurants and shops around but also government offices and the usual church.

    Amazing place in the center of Puebla. It and its surroundings are happening especially on the weekends. Recommend the bus tours to orient yourself. 80 pesos and multiple languages. Poblan@s are friendly and helpful

    Beautiful trees and cathedral here. Take photo with Puebla sign. You can hop on a tour bus from here too. We went Christmas time and the place was lit up everywhere.

    I loved this Zocalo Somehow I felt I was in Europe, it's buildings and the roads or just dazzling, but among all I loved the food. There are several restaurants and colorful handcrafts . The locals are beautiful and welcoming people who truly represent the best of the Mexican culture.

    It seems that every Latin American town has a central square that signifies the epicentre of that community... the genesis, the cultural hub, and spiritual home. And this is Puebla's version. It has the big cathedral beside it, many food stalls and vendors of various items surrounding it, the requisite colourful name of it's namesake in big letters in the centre of it, an impressive fountain, many benches to sit and relax, numerous trees and plants to offer shade... and it all seems to work as the local citizenry certainly flock here along with many tourists such as myself. There is a civic pride in this plaza and it shows. There are volunteers who help hapless tourists, families with kids playing in the nearby playground... it feels safe and homey. I liked it here.

    I hadn't been back to Puebla since I was a kid. I LOVED it!! We stayed downtown and got to enjoy the architecture and the culture.

  • 5/5 Amy L. 5 months ago on Google • 43 reviews
    Now is a great time to visit. They have it decorated for Dia de Los Muertos and they have several exhibits that are great photo ops for social media. It's just a beautiful place to visit if you're here in Puebla. Lots of huge trees that provide ample shade and plenty of seating You'll find a variety of restaurants all around. The kiddos really love playing in the water features.

  • 4/5 Sthef 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to visit with friends & family. Cultural activities, restaurants with Mexican food. You can take the tour around downtown for 80 pesos. Keep your belongings closed.

  • 4/5 Kenneth W. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful views of the cathedral, historic theater, and government buildings. Lots of shade under grand old trees. The only two reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the presence of chain restaurants like burger King and McDonald's and the smell of the sewer that wafts up from time to time.

  • 5/5 Michael M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place. Good park and big church. A lot of locals come here to take pictures and I would recommend taking pictures as well. Very convenient to have hotels and food locations nearby.

  • 5/5 l o. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Yury K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of those places in Mexico where the gold and silver jewelry is of good quality and if you're not a Mexican they don't overcharge you. Unfortunately, they don't actually give discounts. But this place can be trusted. Found this place on the recommendation of my Mexican friends. The sales people don't speak English.

  • 5/5 Koen Van Der W. 1 year ago on Google
    Peaceful and clean square. A lot of nice Mexicans hanging out here. This is the starting place of the bus tour. Buildings look very fresh. I got sunburned so hard while sitting here too long.

  • 5/5 Rebecca O. 11 months ago on Google
    Such a beautiful park in the center of the historic district. If you come in April the jacaranda trees are in bloom and smell wonderful as well as have purple flowers that fall like cherry blossoms.
