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.

Get outdoors at Bosque de Chapultepec and La Condesa. Let the collections at Museo de Frida Kahlo and Museo Nacional de Antropologia capture your imagination. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Robert Brady Museum (in Cuernavaca), Reino Animal (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Bosque Esmeralda (in Amecameca). There's much more to do: delve into the distant past at Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, contemplate the long history of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), and step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle.
