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.

Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Chapultepec Castle will appeal to history buffs. Take a break from the city and head to Bosque de Chapultepec and Museo Viviente. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Mexico City: Puebla (Rosary Chapel (Capilla del Rosario), Zocalo, &more), Bosque Esmeralda (in Amecameca) and Robert Brady Museum (in Cuernavaca). There's much more to do: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, explore the ancient world of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), wander the streets of Historic Center (Centro Historico), and learn more about the world around you at Museo Nacional de Antropologia.
