29 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Arto Otra and Ambarte. Museum-lovers will appreciate Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Museo del Templo Mayor. Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Piedra Herrada Sanctuary (in Valle de Bravo), Mapimi Biosphere Reserve (in Chihuahua) and Xochicalco (in Miacatlan). There's lots more to do: appreciate the extensive heritage of Historic Center (Centro Historico), contemplate the long history of Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de Mexico, delve into the distant past at Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5, and visit Coyoacan.
