7 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. Museo del Templo Mayor and National Palace (Palacio Nacional) will appeal to museum buffs. Go for a jaunt from Mexico City to San Juan Teotihuacan to see Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan about 1h 20 min away. The adventure continues: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, contemplate the long history of Chapultepec Castle, contemplate the waterfront views at Lago del Bosque de Chapultepec, and take a peaceful walk through Chapultepec Park.
