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.

Your inner history buff will appreciate Tula and Palacio de Cortes. Escape the urban bustle at La Condesa and Tepozteco. Change things up with a short trip to Piedra Herrada Sanctuary in Valle de Bravo (about 2 hours away). There's much more to do: delve into the lush surroundings at Chapultepec Park, wander the streets of Historic Center (Centro Historico), indulge in some culinary diversions at a local gastronomic tour, and get a taste of the local shopping with Polanco.
