  What else ...

  There are lots of things to do in Cholula, as well, that you will enjoy:
  
  Historic Zona Arqueológica
  
  The Pirámide Tepanapa , located two blocks to the southeast of Cholola’s central plaza, looks more like a hill than a pyramid and has a domed church on top so it’s tough to miss. The town’s big draw card is no letdown with miles of tunnels veining the inside of the structure. The Zona Arqueológica comprises the excavated areas around the pyramid and the tunnels underneath.
  
  Cemeteries, Memorials & Tombs
  Pirámide Tepanapa
  
  The incredible Pirámide Tepanapa looks more like a hill than a pyramid, but it's still the town's big draw, and, with miles of tunnels veining the inside of the structure, it's no let-down. The Zona Arqueológica comprises the excavated areas around the pyramid and the tunnels underneath.
  
  Squares & Plazas
  Zócalo
  
  The Ex-Convento de San Gabriel , facing the east side of Cholula’s huge zócalo (also known as Plaza de la Concordia), includes a tiny but interesting Franciscan library and three fine churches, all of which will appeal to travelers interested in antique books and early religious and Franciscan history.
  
  Museo de la Ciudad de Cholula
  
  The excellent Museo de la Ciudad de Cholula is housed in a fantastically restored colonial building on the zócalo . The small but strong collection includes ceramics and jewelry from the Pirámide Tepanapa, as well as later colonial paintings and sculptures.

  La Lunita
  
  In the shadow of the pyramid, this raucous, family-run bar has been in business since 1939. Painted in bright colors and decorated with an assortment of old advertising posters and other knick-knacks, La Lunita looks a lot like the movie version of a Mexican cantina. But this isn’t a tourist spot.
  
  Religious
  Santuario de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios
  
  The Pirámide Tepanapa is topped by the brightly decorated Santuario de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios. It's a classic symbol of conquest, but possibly an inadvertent one, as the church may have been built before the Spanish realized the mound contained a pagan temple. You can climb to the church for free via a path starting near the northwest corner of the pyramid.

  Bar Pro Boca
  
  The former home of a popular Cholula jazz club, this small, two-story wine and tapas bar mixes modern furniture with vintage jukeboxes and transistor radios. The menu offers straightforward tapas and a huge selection of wine and beer, including many hard-to-find artisanal Mexican beers.
  
  Museo de Sitio de Cholula
  
  The small Museo de Sitio de Cholula , across the road from the Pirámide Tepanapa ticket office and down some steps, provides the best introduction to the site: a cutaway model of the pyramid mound showing the various superimposed structures. Admission is included in the site ticket.
  
  Mexican
  Güero’s
  
  Decorated with antique photos of Cholula, this lively, family-friendly hangout has been a Cholula institution since 1955. Besides pizza, pasta and burgers, hearty Mexican choices include pozole, cemitas and quesadillas, all served with a delicious salsa roja (red sauce).
