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 Museo del Tiempo Tlalpan. Escape the urban bustle at Piedra Herrada Sanctuary and Bosque de Chapultepec. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Museo Luis Mario Schneider (in Malinalco) and Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan). The adventure continues: explore the engaging exhibits at Memory and Tolerance Museum, examine the collection at Museo Casa De Leon Trotsky, wander the streets of Polanco, and explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes.
