Take a break from the city and head to Bosque de Chapultepec and Lago del Bosque de Chapultepec. Get some historical perspective at Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Zocalo. There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, get a new perspective on nature at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
