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.

Bosque de Chapultepec and National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia) are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Museum-lovers will appreciate Frida Kahlo Museum and Museo del Templo Mayor. Step out of Mexico City with an excursion to Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan in San Juan Teotihuacan--about 1h 20 min away. Next up on the itinerary: get to know the fascinating history of Historic Center (Centro Historico), explore the striking landscape of Chapultepec Park, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, and get in on the family fun at Six Flags Mexico.
