This bus arrives at both the CAPU (Puebla’s central bus station) or the “Paseo Destino” station. -We recommend taking the bus to Paseo Destino because the cabs inside that terminal are safe and it costs approximately $100 pesos (~5 dollars) to get to one of the recommended hotels. However, you can take the bus to the CAPU and take an official cab from the cab stand inside the terminal. Give the dispatcher the address of the hotel, the dispatcher will charge you about $300 pesos (~18 dollars) and assign you a cab number. +We recommend taking the bus to Paseo Destino, even if it’s a bit further away from the Historical Center, because that terminal is much safer than CAPU, especially at night. Taxis from Paseo Destino to the Historical Center cost approximately $100 pesos (~5 dollars). ## The direct way -You can take an authorized taxi in the Mexico City International Airport, but the cost of a trip directly to Puebla Center at the hotel you will stay is about $2000 pesos (~100 dollars). - +You can take an authorized taxi in the Mexico City International Airport, but the cost of a trip directly to Puebla Center at the hotel you will stay in is about $2000 pesos (~100 dollars). Puebla has a small airport, called Hermanos Serdán (PBC). It is located in the nearby town of Huejotzingo, about 40 to 50 minutes from downtown Puebla. Hire an official taxi for $400-$450 pesos (~25 dollars) at the stand inside the terminal. The disadvantage is that all international flights come through Houston, Texas and hence there are fewer options than when flying to Mexico City. ## Traveling from other states of Mexico -If you are already in Mexico, you can take a bus that arrives to CAPU depending on the place you are. The most common lines departing from Mexico City are ADO and Estrella Roja, a detailed list of lines can be found at this link, if you are in another state you can travel to TAPO in Mexico City and then travel to Puebla by ADO or Estrella roja. +If you are already in Mexico, you can take a bus that arrives at CAPU depending on the place you are.
