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 Nevado de Toluca. Visit Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) for their historical value. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Issstehuixtla (in Tehuixtla) and Piedra Herrada Sanctuary (in Valle de Bravo). There's still lots to do: explore the engaging exhibits at Memory and Tolerance Museum, explore the world behind art at Museo de Arte Popular, delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor, and see the interesting displays at Museo Frida Kahlo.
