You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at San Angel and Polanco. Your inner history buff will appreciate Zocalo and Historic Center (Centro Historico).

Next up on the itinerary: browse the exhibits of Museo Frida Kahlo, explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, get a new perspective on nature at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, and get engrossed in the history at Museo del Templo Mayor.
