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.

Get some historical perspective at Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco and Tula. You'll discover tucked-away gems like La Condesa and Museo Memoria y Tolerancia. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan) and Cuernavaca (Palacio de Cortes & Robert Brady Museum). And it doesn't end there: explore the wealth of natural beauty at Chapultepec Park, appreciate the extensive heritage of Historic Center (Centro Historico), examine the collection at Museo Nacional De Arte, and admire the masterpieces at Museo de Arte Popular.
