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.

Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Coyoacan and Tinta Naranja Urban Gallery. Get some cultural insight at La Condesa and National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia). Go for a jaunt from Mexico City to San Juan Teotihuacan to see Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan about 1h 20 min away. There's lots more to do: get in on the family fun at Six Flags Mexico, explore the galleries of National Palace (Palacio Nacional), steep yourself in history at Chapultepec Castle, and get engrossed in the history at Templo Mayor Museum.
