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.

Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) will appeal to history buffs. Shop till you drop at Arto Otra and Yawi Arte Tradicional. Venture out of the city with trips to Cuernavaca (Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco, Museo Morelense de Arte Contemporaneo Juan Soriano, &more). There's still lots to do: delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor, explore the wealth of natural beauty at Bosque de Chapultepec, admire the striking features of National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and learn more about the world around you at Museo Nacional de Antropologia.
