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.

Explore hidden gems such as Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica and Memory and Tolerance Museum. Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Cosmovitral Jardin Botanico (in Toluca), Piedra Herrada Sanctuary (in Valle de Bravo) and Jardines de Mexico (in Jojutla). There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, look for gifts at Tinta Naranja Urban Gallery, admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, and see the interesting displays at Museo Frida Kahlo.
