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.

Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Coyoacan and Arto Otra. Get some historical perspective at Historic Center (Centro Historico) and Zocalo. Venture out of the city with trips to Cuernavaca (Robert Brady Museum & Canyoning & Rappelling Tours). There's much more to do: delve into the distant past at Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, explore the striking landscape of Chapultepec Park, and explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes.
