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 Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica. Step out of Mexico City with an excursion to Cosmovitral Jardin Botanico in Toluca--about 1h 20 min away. There's still lots to do: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, wander the streets of Ciudad Universitaria, see the interesting displays at Museo Dolores Olmedo Patino, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.

Expect a daytime high around 28°C in June, and nighttime lows around 16°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 14th (Thu) to allow time to travel back home.
