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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Piedra Herrada Sanctuary and Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica. Venture out of the city with trips to Cosmovitral Jardin Botanico (in Toluca) and Jardines de Mexico (in Jojutla). There's much more to do: examine the collection at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), stop by Tinta Naranja Urban Gallery, explore the wealth of natural beauty at Chapultepec Park, and wander the streets of Alameda Central.
