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.

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 Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana). There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, steep yourself in history at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, get a new perspective on nature at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, and delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor.
