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.

La Condesa and Coyoacan are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Head to Polanco and Tinta Naranja Urban Galleryfor some retail therapy. Take a break from Mexico City with a short trip to Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan in San Juan Teotihuacan, about 1h 20 min away. There's much more to do: examine the collection at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), explore the historical opulence of Chapultepec Castle, get engrossed in the history at Museo del Templo Mayor, and identify plant and animal life at Zoologico Los Coyotes.
