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 Museo del Templo Mayor will appeal to history buffs. Shop till you drop at Arto Otra and Centro Comercial Paseo Acoxpa. 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 lush surroundings at Bosque de Chapultepec, get engrossed in the history at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, admire the striking features of National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and wander the streets of Historic Center (Centro Historico).
