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.

Get outdoors at La Condesa and Chapultepec Park. Visit Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) and Zocalo for their historical value. Go for a jaunt from Mexico City to San Juan Teotihuacan to see Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan about 1h 20 min away. There's still lots to do: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, take a peaceful walk through Bosque de Chapultepec, identify plant and animal life at Zoologico Los Coyotes, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Historic Center (Centro Historico).
