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.

Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe. Appreciate the collections at Museo Frida Kahlo and Museo Soumaya. Step out of Mexico City to go to San Juan Teotihuacan and see Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5, which is approximately 1h 15 min away. There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, don't miss a visit to Paseo de la Reforma, get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and wander the streets of Coyoacan.
