8 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 Memory and Tolerance Museum capture your imagination. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Monumento y Museo de la Revolucion and Museo Dolores Olmedo. Step out of Mexico City with an excursion to Cosmovitral Jardin Botanico in Toluca--about 1h 20 min away. There's much more to do: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, wander the streets of Ciudad Universitaria, take in the spiritual surroundings of Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de Mexico, and get engrossed in the history at Museo del Templo Mayor.
