5 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 discover tucked-away gems like Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica and Parque Espana. Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Piedra Herrada Sanctuary (in Valle de Bravo) and Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco (in Cuernavaca). And it doesn't end there: get engrossed in the history at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, explore the striking landscape of Bosque de Chapultepec, explore the galleries of Museo Frida Kahlo, and savor the flavors at Food & Drink.
