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.

Bring the kids along to Museo de Arte Popular and Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Alameda Central and Memory and Tolerance Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: Jardines de Mexico (in Jojutla), Cosmovitral Jardin Botanico (in Toluca) and Piedra Herrada Sanctuary (in Valle de Bravo). And it doesn't end there: visit Ciudad Universitaria, enjoy breathtaking views from Torre Latino, stop by Tinta Naranja Urban Gallery, and take a stroll through La Condesa.
