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 Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe 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). And it doesn't end there: examine the collection at Museo Frida Kahlo, get a new perspective on nature at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, wander the streets of La Condesa, and step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle.
