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 some cultural insight at Chapultepec Park and Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan. Get some historical perspective at Historic Center (Centro Historico) and La Ensenanza. There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at National Museum of Anthropology, get to know the fascinating history of Zocalo, admire the striking features of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), and explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes.
