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 Piedra Herrada Sanctuary. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco (in Cuernavaca), Cosmovitral Jardin Botanico (in Toluca) and Jardines de Mexico (in Jojutla). There's still lots to do: take an in-depth tour of Museo Nacional de Antropologia, admire all the interesting features of La Condesa, see the interesting displays at Museo Nacional De Arte, and make a trip to Museo Frida Kahlo.
