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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Chapultepec Park and Six Flags Mexico. Take a break from Mexico City with a short trip to Tepozteco in Tepoztlan, about 1h 25 min away. There's still lots to do: test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms, meet the residents at Acuario Inbursa, see the interesting displays at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), and make a trip to Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica.
