7 days in Mexico City Itinerary

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

Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica and House of Tiles (Casa de los Azulejos) are good opportunities to explore the local culture. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Monumento y Museo de la Revolucion and Piedra Herrada Sanctuary. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Mexico City: Chalcatzingo (in Chalcatzingo), Playa La Virgen (in Tequesquitengo) and Cuernavaca (Robert Brady Museum & Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco). The adventure continues: visit La Condesa, stop by Tinta Naranja Urban Gallery, walk around Alameda Central, and head outdoors with The Muddy Boot.
