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 Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Museo Frida Kahlo. Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Polanco and Tinta Naranja Urban Gallery. 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 still lots to do: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), contemplate the long history of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, and make a trip to Paseo de la Reforma.
