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

Mexico City is known for museums, historic sites, nightlife, shopping, and nature. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: examine the collection at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), don't miss a visit to Paseo de la Reforma, steep yourself in history at Chapultepec Castle, and delve into the distant past at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
