12 days in Mexico City Itinerary

Breathtakingly large, Mexico City provides a home for almost 9 million people living in nearly 1,700 distinct neighborhoods.

Discover out-of-the-way places like Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica and San Angel. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco (in Cuernavaca), Jardines de Mexico (in Jojutla) and Piedra Herrada Sanctuary (in Valle de Bravo). The adventure continues: get engrossed in the history at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, don't miss a visit to Alameda Central, see the interesting displays at Museo Nacional De Arte, and explore the galleries of Museo Frida Kahlo.
