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.

Do some cultural sightseeing at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Coyoacan. Appreciate the collections at Museo Frida Kahlo and Arto Otra. 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 still lots to do: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo, step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
