8 days in Mexico City, Taxco & San Juan Teotihuacan Itinerary

Breathtakingly large, Mexico City provides a home for almost 9 million people living in nearly 1,700 distinct neighborhoods.

Your list of things to see and do now includes Museo de Arte Popular, Mercado de Coyoacan, Arena Mexico, and other attractions. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Mercado De Artesanias La Ciudadela and Volar EN Globo. Popular historic sites such as Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Chapultepec Castle are in your itinerary. There's lots more to do: learn more about the world around you at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, take a stroll through Polanco, see the interesting displays at Museo Frida Kahlo, and steep yourself in history at National Palace (Palacio Nacional).
