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: Cuernavaca (Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco, Spanish Language Institute - Day Course, &more) and Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan). 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.
