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.

Museum-lovers will get to explore Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Visit Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de Mexico for their historical value. Venture out of the city with trips to Cuernavaca (Robert Brady Museum & Archaeological Zone of Xochicalco). There's still lots to do: browse the exhibits of Museo Frida Kahlo, savor the flavors at Food & Drink, pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, and examine the collection at Museo Soumaya.
