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.

Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Zocalo will appeal to history buffs. Get a sense of the local culture at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes. There's much more to do: wander the streets of Historic Center (Centro Historico), see the interesting displays at Museo Frida Kahlo, take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), and delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor.
