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 the city life by going to Bosque de Chapultepec and Chapultepec Park. Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Templo Mayor Museum and National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia). When in Mexico City, make a side trip to see Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan in San Juan Teotihuacan, approximately 1h 20 min away. There's much more to do: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, get to know the fascinating history of Zocalo, steep yourself in history at Chapultepec Castle, and explore the galleries of National Palace (Palacio Nacional).
