City of Palaces
Breathtakingly large, Mexico City provides a home for almost 9 million people living in nearly 1,700 distinct neighborhoods.When in Mexico City, make a side trip to see Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan in San Juan Teotihuacan, approximately 1h 20 min away. There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), browse the exhibits of Templo Mayor Museum, and delve into the distant past at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
To see where to stay, photos, ratings, and tourist information, you can read our Mexico City trip itinerary builder.
In October, plan for daily highs up to 27°C, and evening lows to 13°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 20th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
