3 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

Take a break from Mexico City with a short trip to Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 in San Juan Teotihuacan, about 1h 15 min away. There's much more to do: examine the collection at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, admire the landmark architecture of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), get to know the fascinating history of Zocalo, and step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle.
