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.

Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Cuernavaca (Robert Brady Museum, Spanish Language Institute - Day Course, &more). There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, take a stroll through Coyoacan, and steep yourself in history at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
