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.

Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Bosque de Chapultepec and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Escape the urban bustle at Chapultepec Park and La Condesa. Step out of Mexico City with an excursion to Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan in San Juan Teotihuacan--about 1h 20 min away. There's still lots to do: take a stroll through Coyoacan, steep yourself in history at Chapultepec Castle, examine the collection at Frida Kahlo Museum, and ponder the world of politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional).
