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.

Step out of Mexico City with an excursion to Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 in San Juan Teotihuacan--about 1h 15 min away. There's lots more to do: learn more about the world around you at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, contemplate the long history of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, and browse the exhibits of Museo Frida Kahlo.

In September, plan for daily highs up to 26°C, and evening lows to 16°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 30th (Mon) to allow time to travel back home.
