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 Museo del Templo Mayor for their historical value. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Piedra Herrada Sanctuary (in Valle de Bravo) and Issstehuixtla (in Tehuixtla). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Museo Frida Kahlo, explore the world behind art at Museo de Arte Popular, make a trip to Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica, and admire the striking features of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
