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.

Let the collections at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Memory and Tolerance Museum capture your imagination. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Monumento y Museo de la Revolucion and Ciudad Universitaria. Step out of Mexico City with an excursion to Cosmovitral Jardin Botanico in Toluca--about 1h 20 min away. There's lots more to do: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, make a trip to Zocalo, pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, and examine the collection at Museo Frida Kahlo.
