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 Palacio de Bellas Artes. You'll explore and learn at Museo Frida Kahlo and Museo del Templo Mayor. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Cuernavaca (Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco & Robert Brady Museum). There's much more to do: explore the historical opulence of Chapultepec Castle, take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), examine the collection at Museo Soumaya, and don't miss a visit to Zocalo.

To find maps, where to stay, ratings, and more tourist information, refer to the Mexico City road trip planning website.

Expect a daytime high around 28°C in February, and nighttime lows around 10°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 16th (Fri) to allow enough time to travel back home.
