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 Polanco and Pinacoteca de la Profesa. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Piramide de la Serpiente Emplumada and Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica. Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Tula Toltec Archaeological Ruins (in Tula de Allende Municipality) and Zona Arqueologica Malinalco (in Malinalco). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Museo de Frida Kahlo, wander the streets of La Condesa, appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo, and explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes.
