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 Coyoacan and Fonart. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Historic Center (Centro Historico) and Museo del Templo Mayor. When in Mexico City, make a side trip to see Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan in San Juan Teotihuacan, approximately 1h 20 min away. The adventure continues: examine the collection at Frida Kahlo Museum, get to know the fascinating history of Zocalo, admire the striking features of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), and step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle.
