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.

Visit Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Zocalo for their historical value. Head to Polanco and Tinta Naranja Urban Galleryfor some retail therapy. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Mexico City: Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia (in Cuauhtemoc) and Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan). There's lots more to do: take a stroll through San Angel, examine the collection at Museo Frida Kahlo, visit La Condesa, and pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
