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.

Popular historic sites such as Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe are in your itinerary. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Bosque de Chapultepec. Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Robert Brady Museum (in Cuernavaca), Reino Animal (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Bosque Esmeralda (in Amecameca). And it doesn't end there: explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, wander the streets of Coyoacan, appreciate the extensive heritage of Historic Center (Centro Historico), and examine the collection at Museo del Tiempo Tlalpan.
