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

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan and Museo del Templo Mayor. Frida Kahlo Museum and Museo del Tiempo Tlalpan will appeal to museum buffs. Explore Mexico City's surroundings by going to Piramide de la Serpiente Emplumada (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Cuernavaca (Robert Brady Museum & Canyoning & Rappelling Tours). There's still lots to do: explore the wealth of natural beauty at Chapultepec Park, delve into the distant past at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), contemplate the long history of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, and make a trip to Zocalo.
