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 Mirador Pena del Cuervo will get you outdoors. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Paso de Cortes (in Amecameca), Cuernavaca (Robert Brady Museum & Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco) and Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan). There's still lots to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), explore the historical opulence of Chapultepec Castle, explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, and learn more about the world around you at Museo Nacional de Antropologia.

In March, plan for daily highs up to 28°C, and evening lows to 12°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 4th (Wed) to allow enough time to travel back home.
