48 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

Get a sense of the local culture at Palacio de Bellas Artes and Museo Nacional de Antropologia. Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Cuernavaca (Palacio de Cortes, Robert Brady Museum, & more), Tochatlaco (in Zempoala) and Ex Convent of Acolman (in Acolman). Spend the 16th (Fri) floating through the air with a balloon tour. The adventure continues: examine the collection at Museo de Frida Kahlo, appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo, take a peaceful walk through Bosque de Chapultepec, and pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
