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.

Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) will appeal to history buffs. Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes will appeal to museum buffs. Venture out of the city with trips to Parque Acuatico (in Ixtapan de la Sal) and Piramide de la Serpiente Emplumada (in San Juan Teotihuacan). There's lots more to do: stop by Historic Center (Centro Historico), delve into the distant past at Museo del Templo Mayor, don't miss a visit to Zocalo, and contemplate the long history of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
