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 Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5. Appreciate the collections at Museo Frida Kahlo and Museo del Templo Mayor. There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Palacio de Bellas Artes, stop by Coyoacan, take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), and step into the grandiose world of Chapultepec Castle.
