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 Historic Center (Centro Historico) will appeal to history buffs. Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Museo Frida Kahlo 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: explore the ancient world of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), get to know the fascinating history of Zocalo, stop by Coyoacan, and contemplate the long history of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
