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 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). There's much more to do: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), view the masterpieces at Ambarte, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo.
