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.

Take a break from the city and head to Bosque de Chapultepec and Chapultepec Park. Frida Kahlo Museum and National Palace (Palacio Nacional) will appeal to museum buffs. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Mexico City: Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan (in San Juan Teotihuacan), Nevado de Toluca / Xinantecatl (in Toluca) and Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan). And it doesn't end there: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor, examine the collection at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), and identify plant and animal life at Zoologico Los Coyotes.
