9 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 National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropologia) and Templo Mayor Museum capture your imagination. Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Palacio de Bellas Artes and Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana). Change things up with these side-trips from Mexico City: San Juan Teotihuacan (Pyramid of the Sun & Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan). The adventure continues: examine the collection at Frida Kahlo Museum, take a peaceful walk through Bosque de Chapultepec, don't miss a visit to Zocalo, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
