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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at San Angel and Polanco. Your inner history buff will appreciate Zocalo and Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana). Step out of Mexico City with an excursion to Tepozteco in Tepoztlan--about 1h 25 min away. Next up on the itinerary: explore the galleries of Museo Frida Kahlo, get engrossed in the history at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, stroll around Bosque de Chapultepec, and take a stroll through Historic Center (Centro Historico).
