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.

Visit Templo Mayor Museum and Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan for their historical value. You'll explore and learn at Frida Kahlo Museum and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Pyramid of the Sun (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Cuernavaca (Robert Brady Museum, Garden Borda Cultural Center, & more). There's much more to do: see the interesting displays at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo, don't miss a visit to Inmobiliaria Paseo de la Reforma, and get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional).
