8 days in Mexico City Itinerary

Breathtakingly large, Mexico City provides a home for almost 9 million people living in nearly 1,700 distinct neighborhoods.

Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Cuernavaca (Spanish Language Institute - Day Course, Robert Brady Museum, & more) and Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan (in San Juan Teotihuacan). The adventure continues: examine the collection at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), explore the ancient world of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), and explore the historical opulence of Chapultepec Castle.

Finish your sightseeing early on the 6th (Sun) to allow enough time to travel back home.
