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.

Museo del Templo Mayor and Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Visiting Bosque de Chapultepec and Parque Ecologico Chapultepec will get you outdoors. Venture out of the city with trips to Cuernavaca (Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco & Robert Brady Museum). The adventure continues: see the interesting displays at Museo de Frida Kahlo, explore the historical opulence of Chapultepec Castle, appreciate the extensive heritage of Historic Center (Centro Historico), and take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
