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.

Do some cultural sightseeing at Frida Kahlo Museum and Palacio de Bellas Artes. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Museo Memoria y Tolerancia and Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Mexico City: Tula (in Tula de Allende) and Cosmovitral Jardin Botanico (in Toluca). There's much more to do: examine the collection at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), ponder the world of politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), steep yourself in history at Chapultepec Castle, and admire the landmark architecture of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
