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.

Bosque de Chapultepec and Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Historic Center (Centro Historico) and Chapultepec Castle will appeal to history buffs. There's still lots to do: examine the collection at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, steep yourself in history at Tlatelolco, and get to know the fascinating history of Zocalo.
