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 Zocalo will appeal to history buffs. Take a break from the city and head to Bosque de Chapultepec and La Condesa. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Mexico City: Bosque Esmeralda (in Amecameca), Robert Brady Museum (in Cuernavaca) and Puebla (Church of Santo Domingo (Iglesia de Santo Domingo), Rosary Chapel (Capilla del Rosario), &more). And it doesn't end there: learn more about the world around you at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, view the masterpieces at Arto Otra, take a stroll through Historic Center (Centro Historico), and explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes.
