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 Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5. You'll explore and learn at Museo Frida Kahlo and Museo Soumaya. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Cuernavaca (Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco & Robert Brady Museum). There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, wander the streets of Historic Center (Centro Historico), indulge in some culinary diversions at a local gastronomic tour, and pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
