4 days in Mexico City Itinerary

Breathtakingly large, Mexico City provides a home for almost 9 million people living in nearly 1,700 distinct neighborhoods.

Let the collections at Museo del Templo Mayor and Palacio de Bellas Artes capture your imagination. Get some historical perspective at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) and Zocalo. Step out of Mexico City with an excursion to Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan in San Juan Teotihuacan--about 1h 20 min away. There's much more to do: identify plant and animal life at La Condesa, examine the collection at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.

Cap off your sightseeing on the 24th (Mon) early enough to travel back home.
