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.

Do your shopping at Coyoacan and Tinta Naranja Urban Gallery. You'll explore and learn at Frida Kahlo Museum and National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia). Change things up with a short trip to Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan in San Juan Teotihuacan (about 1h 20 min away). There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor, ponder the world of politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
