20 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

Museum-lovers will appreciate Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Shop till you drop at Polanco and Avenida Presidente Masaryk. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Mexico City: Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia (in Cuauhtemoc), Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Cuernavaca (Spanish Language Institute - Day Course, Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco, &more). There's much more to do: step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo, get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
