Step off the beaten path and head to Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica and Ciudad Universitaria. Appreciate the collections at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Museo Dolores Olmedo Patino. 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: see the interesting displays at Museo Frida Kahlo, explore the historical opulence of Chapultepec Castle, contemplate the long history of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
