You'll discover tucked-away gems like Museo de Arte Popular and Museo de Cera de la Ciudad de Mexico. Museum-lovers will appreciate Museo Nacional De Arte and Memory and Tolerance Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Cuernavaca (Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco, Palacio de Cortes, &more) and Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan).
