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.

Visit Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) and Museo del Templo Mayor for their historical value. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like La Condesa and National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia). And it doesn't end there: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, make a trip to Virgin of Guadalupe, appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo, and steep yourself in history at Chapultepec Castle.

If you are flying in from Colombia, the closest major airports are Licenciado Benito Juarez International Airport, Querétaro Intercontinental Airport and General Francisco J. Mujica International Airport. In May, plan for daily highs up to 30°C, and evening lows to 16°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 8th (Tue) to allow enough time to travel back home.
