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.

Appreciate the collections at Museo del Templo Mayor and National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia). Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Bosque de Chapultepec and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Go for a jaunt from Mexico City to San Juan Teotihuacan to see Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan about 1h 20 min away. There's much more to do: examine the collection at Frida Kahlo Museum, get to know the fascinating history of Zocalo, steep yourself in history at Chapultepec Castle, and take a stroll through La Condesa.

Mujica International Airport. Expect a daytime high around 27°C in July, and nighttime lows around 15°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 15th (Sun) early enough to travel back home.
