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.

Get some historical perspective at Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana). Visiting Bosque de Chapultepec and Zoologico Los Coyotes will get you outdoors. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan), Cuernavaca (Robert Brady Museum & Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco) and Paso de Cortes (in Amecameca). Next up on the itinerary: take a stroll through Historic Center (Centro Historico), step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, and get to know the fascinating history of Zocalo.
