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.

Visiting Bosque de Chapultepec and Chapultepec Park will get you outdoors. Museum-lovers will get to explore Templo Mayor Museum and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Change things up with a short trip to Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan in San Juan Teotihuacan (about 1h 15 min away). There's still lots to do: take a stroll through Coyoacan, contemplate the long history of Chapultepec Castle, examine the collection at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), and look for gifts at Tinta Naranja Urban Gallery.
