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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica and Museo Dolores Olmedo Patino. Appreciate the collections at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Cosmovitral Jardin Botanico (in Toluca) and Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan). And it doesn't end there: take a stroll through Ciudad Universitaria, see the interesting displays at Museo Frida Kahlo, explore the engaging exhibits at Memory and Tolerance Museum, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
