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.

Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Tinta Naranja Urban Gallery and Arte de Mexico. Museum-lovers will get to explore Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Museo Frida Kahlo. Step out of Mexico City with an excursion to Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 in San Juan Teotihuacan--about 1h 15 min away. The adventure continues: delve into the lush surroundings at Bosque de Chapultepec, wander the streets of Historic Center (Centro Historico), explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, and delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor.
