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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Palacio de Gobierno del Estado de Tlaxcala (in Tlaxcala), Cuernavaca (Spanish Language Institute - Day Course & Robert Brady Museum) and Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan). There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, steep yourself in history at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), and get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional).

To find maps, more things to do, where to stay, and more tourist information, refer to the Mexico City trip planner.

If you are flying in from Peru, the closest major aiports are Licenciado Benito Juarez International Airport, Querétaro Intercontinental Airport and General Francisco J. Mujica International Airport. In May, daytime highs in Mexico City are 30°C, while nighttime lows are 16°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 26th (Tue) to allow enough time to travel back home.
