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.

Museum-lovers will appreciate Museo del Templo Mayor and National Palace (Palacio Nacional). Visit Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) and Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe for their historical value. Explore Mexico City's surroundings by going to Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan (in San Juan Teotihuacan), Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan) and Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco (in Cuernavaca). There's lots more to do: delve into the lush surroundings at Bosque de Chapultepec, see the interesting displays at National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia), step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle, and get outside with The Muddy Boot.
