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 Museo del Templo Mayor will appeal to history buffs. Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Arto Otra 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). And it doesn't end there: explore the ancient world of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, visit Coyoacan, and explore the historical opulence of Chapultepec Castle.
