11 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

You'll explore and learn at Museo del Templo Mayor and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Do some cultural sightseeing at Bosque de Chapultepec and Frida Kahlo Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan), Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Nevado de Toluca / Xinantecatl (in Toluca). There's lots more to do: examine the collection at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), steep yourself in history at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, and head outdoors with The Muddy Boot.
