6 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 these side-trips from Mexico City: Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Cuernavaca (Spanish Language Institute - Day Course & Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco). There's much more to do: see the interesting displays at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), explore the ancient world of Museo del Templo Mayor, and explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes.
