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 some cultural insight at Chapultepec Park and Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana). Step off the beaten path and head to Piedra Herrada Sanctuary and Food Tours. Change things up with a short trip to Tepozteco in Tepoztlan (about 1h 20 min away). And it doesn't end there: take a stroll through La Condesa, steep yourself in history at Chapultepec Castle, get to know the fascinating history of Historic Center (Centro Historico), and let little ones run wild at Parque Espana.
