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 Tepozteco and Issstehuixtla. Visit Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Museo del Templo Mayor for their historical value. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Nevado de Toluca (in Toluca) and Piedra Herrada Sanctuary (in Valle de Bravo). There's much more to do: examine the collection at Museo Frida Kahlo, explore the world behind art at Museo de Arte Popular, get a new perspective on nature at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, and explore the engaging exhibits at Memory and Tolerance Museum.
