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.

Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Museo Frida Kahlo. You'll explore and learn at Palacio de Bellas Artes and Robert Brady Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco (in Cuernavaca). There's much more to do: take a stroll through Coyoacan, stop by Historic Center (Centro Historico), savor the flavors at Food & Drink, and contemplate the long history of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
