Breathtakingly large, Mexico City provides a home for almost 9 million people living in nearly 1,700 distinct neighborhoods.

Get outdoors at Bosque de Chapultepec and La Condesa. Let the collections at Museo del Templo Mayor and National Palace (Palacio Nacional) capture your imagination. Step out of Mexico City to go to San Juan Teotihuacan and see Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan, which is approximately 1h 20 min away. The adventure continues: examine the collection at Frida Kahlo Museum, admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, get to know the fascinating history of Historic Center (Centro Historico), and browse the different shops at Coyoacan.
