Museum-lovers will appreciate Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Museo del Templo Mayor. Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Arto Otra and Yawi Arte Tradicional. 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, stop by Coyoacan, admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo.
