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 a short trip to Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan in San Juan Teotihuacan (about 1h 20 min away). And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, admire the striking features of National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and contemplate the long history of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).

Mujica International Airport. Expect a daytime high around 75°F in March, and nighttime lows around 50°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 17th (Sat) so you can travel back home.
