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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Museo Memoria y Tolerancia and Zona Arqueologica Malinalco. Your inner history buff will appreciate Museo del Templo Mayor and Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan. There's still lots to do: examine the collection at Museo de Frida Kahlo, make a trip to Zocalo, get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
