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), Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Palacio de Gobierno del Estado de Tlaxcala (in Tlaxcala). There's still lots to do: examine the collection at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, explore the historical opulence of Chapultepec Castle, ponder the world of politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and explore the ancient world of Museo del Templo Mayor.

If you are flying in from Peru, the closest major airports are Licenciado Benito Juarez International Airport, Querétaro Intercontinental Airport and General Francisco J. Mujica International Airport. In May, plan for daily highs up to 30°C, and evening lows to 16°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 26th (Tue) to allow time to travel back home.
