6 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Polanco and Fonart. Step out of Mexico City with an excursion to Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 in San Juan Teotihuacan--about 1h 15 min away. The adventure continues: stop by Coyoacan, don't miss a visit to Paseo de la Reforma, ponder the world of politics at National Palace, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana).
