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.

Get a sense of the local culture at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Bosque de Chapultepec. Let the collections at Museo Frida Kahlo and Palacio de Bellas Artes capture your imagination. Take a break from Mexico City with a short trip to Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 in San Juan Teotihuacan, about 1h 15 min away. And it doesn't end there: delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor, appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), and ponder the world of politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional).
