5 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

Appreciate the collections at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Museo Frida Kahlo and Historic Center (Centro Historico) are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Change things up with a short trip to Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 in San Juan Teotihuacan (about 1h 15 min away). There's much more to do: wander the streets of Coyoacan, appreciate the extensive heritage of Zocalo, indulge in some culinary diversions at a local gastronomic tour, and contemplate the long history of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
