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 La Condesa and Issstehuixtla. Visit Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Zocalo for their historical value. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan) and Piedra Herrada Sanctuary (in Valle de Bravo). There's much more to do: see the interesting displays at Museo Frida Kahlo, explore the historical opulence of Chapultepec Castle, delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor, and explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes.
