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.

Appreciate the collections at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Escape the urban bustle at Piedra Herrada Sanctuary and Bosque de Chapultepec. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan) and Museo Luis Mario Schneider (in Malinalco). The adventure continues: examine the collection at Museo del Tiempo Tlalpan, tour the pleasant surroundings at La Condesa, take a stroll through Ciudad Universitaria, and stop by San Angel.
