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 Bosque de Chapultepec and Museo del Templo Mayor. Do your shopping at Coyoacan and Tinta Naranja Urban Gallery. Step out of Mexico City with an excursion to Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan in San Juan Teotihuacan--about 1h 20 min away. There's lots more to do: see the interesting displays at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), take a peaceful walk through Chapultepec Park, take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), and step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle.
