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.

Do some cultural sightseeing at Palacio de Bellas Artes and Museo Nacional de Antropologia. Attractions like Six Flags Mexico and Papalote Museo del Nino make great kid-friendly stops. Step out of Mexico City to go to Ixtapaluca and see El Nido, which is approximately 52 minutes away. And it doesn't end there: explore the ancient world of Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan, browse the exhibits of National Palace (Palacio Nacional), examine the collection at Museo de Frida Kahlo, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
