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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Monumento y Museo de la Revolucion and Tula Toltec Archaeological Ruins. Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes will appeal to museum buffs. Venture out of the city with trips to Malinalco (Zona Arqueologica Malinalco & Cerro de los Idolos), Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan) and Museo Nacional del Virreinato (in Tepotzotlan). And it doesn't end there: make a trip to Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5, step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, examine the collection at Museo Nacional De Arte, and explore the world behind art at Museo de Arte Popular.
