11 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 Zocalo will appeal to history buffs. Take a break from the city and head to Bosque de Chapultepec and Popocatepetl. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Mexico City: Bosque Esmeralda (in Amecameca), Robert Brady Museum (in Cuernavaca) and Puebla (Rosary Chapel (Capilla del Rosario), Zocalo, &more). There's much more to do: take a stroll through Historic Center (Centro Historico), get a sense of history and politics at National Palace, explore the world behind art at Palacio de Bellas Artes, and delve into the distant past at Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
