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 Museo de Arte Popular. Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes will appeal to museum buffs. Venture out of the city with trips to Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan), Tula Toltec Archaeological Ruins (in Tula de Allende Municipality) and Museo Nacional del Virreinato (in Tepotzotlan). There's much more to do: see the interesting displays at Museo del Tiempo Tlalpan, step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, make a trip to Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5, and explore the world behind art at Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso.
