16 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: Puebla (Church of Santo Domingo (Iglesia de Santo Domingo), Rosary Chapel (Capilla del Rosario), & more), Palacio de Gobierno del Estado de Tlaxcala (in Tlaxcala) and Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan). There's still lots to do: examine the collection at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, contemplate the long history of National Palace (Palacio Nacional), take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), and admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes.
