13 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

Your inner history buff will appreciate Museo del Templo Mayor and Chapultepec Castle. Escape the urban bustle at Bosque de Chapultepec and La Condesa. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Mexico City: Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan (in San Juan Teotihuacan), Nevado de Toluca / Xinantecatl (in Toluca) and Paso de Cortes (in Amecameca). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Frida Kahlo Museum, pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, explore the ancient world of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), and get outside with The Muddy Boot.
