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 Bosque de Chapultepec and The Muddy Boot. Get a sense of the local culture at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Step out of Mexico City to go to San Juan Teotihuacan and see Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5, which is approximately 1h 15 min away. The adventure continues: wander the streets of Historic Center (Centro Historico), look for gifts at Tinta Naranja Urban Gallery, delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor, and steep yourself in history at National Palace (Palacio Nacional).
