2 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

On the 13th (Fri), take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, then step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, and finally see the interesting displays at Museo Frida Kahlo. Here are some ideas for day two: pause for some photo ops at Monumento a los Heroes de la Independencia, learn more about the world around you at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, then contemplate the long history of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, and finally appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo.
