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.

Shop till you drop at Coyoacan and Tinta Naranja Urban Gallery. Your inner history buff will appreciate Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) and Museo del Templo Mayor. Go for a jaunt from Mexico City to San Juan Teotihuacan to see Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan about 1h 20 min away. The adventure continues: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, head outdoors with The Muddy Boot, steep yourself in history at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and take a peaceful walk through Chapultepec Park.
