Getting Here and Around

Bus Travel

Buses bound for Puebla depart several times an hour from Mexico City's TAPO terminal. On ADO, the most reliable company, the two-hour ride costs about $12. From Mexico City's Terminal del Sur, hourly Cristobal Colón buses cost about the same.

The double-decker Turibus (55/5563–6693 or 55/5598–6309) is a good option for exploring the city and the neighboring town of Cholula. Every day from 9 to 9, these open-topped buses follow a circuit around the city; you can board the buses at stops marked with Turibus signs.
