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 del Templo Mayor. 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. There's lots more to do: wander the streets of Coyoacan, examine the collection at Museo Frida Kahlo, walk around Bosque de Chapultepec, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
