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.

Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Museo Frida Kahlo will appeal to museum buffs. Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) will appeal to history buffs. There's still lots to do: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo, pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, and step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle.
