Breathtakingly large, Mexico City provides a home for almost 9 million people living in nearly 1,700 distinct neighborhoods.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Polanco and Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco. Head to Plaza Atlixco and Arte de Mexicofor some retail therapy. Explore Mexico City's surroundings by going to Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan), Galeria Media Luna (in San Martin de las Piramides) and Playa La Virgen (in Tequesquitengo). And it doesn't end there: get engrossed in the history at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, admire the striking features of House of Tiles (Casa de los Azulejos), admire the natural beauty at Jardines de Mexico, and step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle.
