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.

Do your shopping at Polanco and Mercado Municipal. Do some cultural sightseeing at Coyoacan and National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Frida Kahlo Museum, ponder the world of politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo.
