10 days in Mexico City Itinerary

Breathtakingly large, Mexico City provides a home for almost 9 million people living in nearly 1,700 distinct neighborhoods.

Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Cuernavaca (Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco, Spanish Language Institute - Day Course, &more). There's much more to do: get engrossed in the history at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, admire the striking features of National Palace (Palacio Nacional), step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
