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.

Get some historical perspective at Museo del Templo Mayor and Zocalo. Frida Kahlo Museum and Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Change things up with a short trip to Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan in San Juan Teotihuacan (about 1h 20 min away). There's lots more to do: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, examine the collection at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), and steep yourself in history at Chapultepec Castle.
