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 a sense of the local culture at Chapultepec Park and La Condesa. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Tepozteco and Polanco. Explore Mexico City's surroundings by going to Canyoning & Rappelling Tours (in Cuernavaca) and Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan (in San Juan Teotihuacan). There's lots more to do: delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor, steep yourself in history at Chapultepec Castle, explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, and take a stroll through Historic Center (Centro Historico).
