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.

Change things up with a short trip to Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 in San Juan Teotihuacan (about 1h 15 min away). There's still lots to do: learn more about the world around you at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, explore the striking landscape of Bosque de Chapultepec, contemplate the long history of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, and step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle.
