    Shopping souvenirs
    A beautiful clean and friendly place to buy your souvenirs and food! You do have to ask to lower the price because the first price is usually a higher cost of normal..it helps if you speak Spanish..many beautiful artesanal stuff I recommend to buy Talavera!!

    Average market, but don't spend too much time
    This market seems more impressive in pictures than reality. The prices are on the higher side, though that is true for most of Mexico City as well. The merchandise is the same that you would find in CDMX. If you are going here, make sure you grab an ice cream at the shop around the corner, and also keep enough time to check out stores in the city center and just outside the market. Getting an Uber to the bus station in late evening can be a hassle, so keep some extra time at hand. Puebla is fun to walk around and enjoy, so go to the market but don't spend all your time here.

    Fun little market but you don't need more than about 20 minutes here.
    This used to be such a beautiful market, but unfortunately now so many booths sell the exact same thing and much of it is made in China. There is much less Talavera and local crafts and much more souvenir junk than there used to be. Disappointed, but it is happening everywhere. Go across the street to the artist area and you may find better options.

A traditional artisan market where you can buy gifts and souvenirs related to what is typical of the city of Puebla.
In the vicinity there are restaurants, bars and various artists which makes it more picturesque.
The advantage is that it is close to the historic center and other areas to visit such as a museum and craft markets.

It is a picturesque market where you can buy crafts from Puebla and in general from various places in the country. There is no shortage of charro hats, masks, magnets, clothes, sweets, etc.
Enjoy Puebla because: "LIFE...is a JOURNEY!

You can get many ceramic pottery in this place with affordable pricing. It’s nice to stroll around to see the local products and have some small snacks from the street vendors. We went there on Sunday afternoon but the market was quite empty and quiet which makes it comfortable to walkby.

I generally don't like to hit the touristy places. I'm the type of traveler who much prefers to immerse myself in the culture of where I’m visiting by hanging out with the locals, eating the food they eat in the way that they prepare it, instead of in the uninspiring version tailored to finicky tourist’s taste buds. I like to visit the places the locals hang out, to see how they spend their off time, instead of joining a bunch of other tourists being herded to the “tourist trap” shopping venues where the prices are jacked up ten-fold in contrast to the off-the-beaten-path venues. However, having said that… if you go to Parian in Puebla, you really can get a taste of the culture and food, since the locals seem to like to hang out there, too! The food really is authentic; and if you feel the prices are too high, just move down a couple of blocks. In addition, the local scene is not far away. Only a few blocks away is Los Sapos, where— yes, I admit, is a tourist trap during the day— but at night, the place is ALIVE and hopping with the locals at all the bars along the Los Sapos strip (which are closed during the day, but all open at night). I know, because I used to live in Puebla and dated a young Poblano. And this was one of our favorite places to hang out on a Friday or Saturday night. Get ready to let your hair down and dance and go crazy! (Just be careful with your valuables. Better not to bring them!)

If you want arts and crafts this is the place to visit, right in downtown Puebla. Everything is concentrated in two streets so it is very convenient and fun

This is a good option for purchasing local arts and crafts. You may need some time to look on all the available options. Prices are very reasonable and also you may bargain. Although you can find a huge variety of things this is not the place for the high-end crafts that is available through speciality stores. Fun place to visit and take something home.

Be careful with the prices... I recommend that once you see something you like don't buy it on the first place, walk away and as you are walking away they will give you the lowest price and now you know if you want to pay that or not.

The first place to go when looking for souvenirs from Puebla. A lot of talavera pottery, plus ponchos etc. Very touristy, but reasonable prices and a good one-stop solution. If you're looking for very high-quality and special goods, don't go here. But for regular souvenirs, this a good choice.
