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 a sense of the local culture at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Zocalo. Step off the beaten path and head to Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica and Torre Latino. Step out of Mexico City to go to San Juan Teotihuacan and see Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5, which is approximately 1h 15 min away. There's much more to do: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, explore the galleries of Museo del Templo Mayor, step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, and examine the collection at Museo Frida Kahlo.
