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.

Museum-lovers will appreciate Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Arto Otra. Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Ambarte and Pinacoteca de la Profesa. Venture out of the city with trips to Robert Brady Museum (in Cuernavaca) and San Juan Teotihuacan (Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 & Piramide de la Serpiente Emplumada). There's lots more to do: explore the ancient world of Museo del Templo Mayor, explore the galleries of Yawi Arte Tradicional, examine the collection at Museo Frida Kahlo, and admire the striking features of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
