29 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Polanco and Mercado De Artesanias La Ciudadela. Museum-lovers will appreciate Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Xochicalco (in Miacatlan), Piedra Herrada Sanctuary (in Valle de Bravo) and Galeria Artesanal Malinalco (in Malinalco). There's much more to do: make a trip to Zocalo, contemplate the long history of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), explore the historical opulence of Chapultepec Castle, and see the interesting displays at Museo Frida Kahlo.
