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.

Change things up with a short trip to Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 in San Juan Teotihuacan (about 1h 15 min away). Next up on the itinerary: examine the collection at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, and explore the galleries of Museo Frida Kahlo.
