47 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Balloon Rides (in San Martin de las Piramides), Cuernavaca (Palacio de Cortes, Robert Brady Museum, & more) and San Juan Teotihuacan (Teotihuacan Pyramids, Museo Manuel Gamio Centro de Estudios Teotihuacanos, & more). Pack the 8th (Sat) with family-friendly diversions at Granja Las Americas. The adventure continues: see the interesting displays at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, contemplate the long history of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, get to know the fascinating history of Zocalo, and explore the ancient world of Museo del Templo Mayor.
