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 Historic Center (Centro Historico). Visiting Bosque de Chapultepec and Paso de Cortes will get you outdoors. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Mirador Pena del Cuervo (in Mineral del Chico), Cuernavaca (Robert Brady Museum & Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco) and Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan). There's still lots to do: get a new perspective on nature at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, explore the historical opulence of Chapultepec Castle, explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, and examine the collection at Museo Frida Kahlo.
