Estrella de Puebla, Observation wheel in Puebla, Mexico

The Estrella de Puebla is an observation wheel standing 80 meters tall with 54 cabins offering views of the city and surrounding landscape. Each cabin holds eight passengers, and some feature glass floors with leather seating.

Built in 2013, the wheel commemorates the 151st anniversary of the Battle of Puebla and was manufactured in Germany at a cost of roughly 200 million Mexican pesos.

The wheel stands near the International Museum of the Baroque, marking the presence of modern entertainment within this historic city setting. It draws visitors seeking a contrast between traditional surroundings and contemporary attractions.

The best time to ride is during daylight hours so you can see the city details and surrounding landscape clearly. An upper cabin placement offers the farthest views across the area.

The wheel holds a Guinness World Record as the largest portable observation wheel, designed to fit within a standard shipping container. This engineering allows it to be transported to different locations for temporary installations.
