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 Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan), Palacio de Gobierno del Estado de Tlaxcala (in Tlaxcala) and Cuernavaca (Spanish Language Institute - Day Course & Robert Brady Museum). There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), explore the ancient world of Museo del Templo Mayor, and get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional).

To see traveler tips, photos, maps, 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.
