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.

Let the collections at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes capture your imagination. Get a sense of the local culture at Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Museo del Templo Mayor. Change things up with a short trip to Robert Brady Museum in Cuernavaca (about 1h 20 min away). There's lots more to do: steep yourself in history at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, admire the landmark architecture of National Palace, examine the collection at Museo Frida Kahlo, and don't miss a visit to Paseo de la Reforma.
