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 Frida Kahlo. Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Museo del Templo Mayor. There's still lots to do: appreciate the extensive heritage of Historic Center (Centro Historico), ponder the world of politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), walk around Bosque de Chapultepec, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
