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.

Get outdoors at Bosque de Chapultepec and Museo Viviente. Do your shopping at Coyoacan and Ambarte. Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan), Puebla (Church of Santo Domingo (Iglesia de Santo Domingo), Rosary Chapel (Capilla del Rosario), & more) and Bosque Esmeralda (in Amecameca). And it doesn't end there: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, don't miss a visit to Zocalo, get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and explore the galleries of Museo Frida Kahlo.
