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.

Visit Historic Center (Centro Historico) and Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) for their historical value. You'll explore and learn at Museo del Templo Mayor and National Museum of Anthropology. Step out of Mexico City to go to San Juan Teotihuacan and see Piramide de la Serpiente Emplumada, which is approximately 1h 15 min away. And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at Frida Kahlo Museum, get to know the fascinating history of Zocalo, get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and explore the historical opulence of Chapultepec Castle.
