Introducing Tlaxcala
The capital of Mexico’s smallest state is a delightful Mexican anomaly – despite being less than two hours from Mexico City, Tlaxcala is a delightfully calm and traffic-free place, especially at the weekend. It’s charming and friendly, with a few sights worth seeing if you’re passing through, though there’s nothing that warrants a special detour here. Despite this, many people really fall for the town for its atmosphere and lack of tourists. As such, it’s one of the capital’s least discovered satellite towns.
