9 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica and Museo Memoria y Tolerancia. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Mexico City: Ex Hacienda de Ixtoluca (in Tlaquiltenango), Jardines de Mexico (in Jojutla) and Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan). There's lots more to do: examine the collection at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, delve into the distant past at Piramide de la Serpiente Emplumada, explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, and take in nature's colorful creations at Cosmovitral Jardin Botanico.
