Museum-lovers will appreciate Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Arto Otra. Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Ambarte and Polanco. Venture out of the city with trips to San Juan Teotihuacan (Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 & Piramide de la Serpiente Emplumada) and Robert Brady Museum (in Cuernavaca). And it doesn't end there: delve into the lush surroundings at Bosque de Chapultepec, explore the galleries of Yawi Arte Tradicional, admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, and see the interesting displays at Museo Frida Kahlo.
