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.

Explore Mexico City's surroundings by going to Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Cuernavaca (Spanish Language Institute - Day Course, Robert Brady Museum, & more). There's much more to do: see the interesting displays at National Museum of Anthropology, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, make a trip to Zocalo, and delve into the distant past at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
