12 days in Mexico City Itinerary

Breathtakingly large, Mexico City provides a home for almost 9 million people living in nearly 1,700 distinct neighborhoods.

For shopping fun, head to Mercado de San Juan or Sala de Arte Publico Proyecto Siqueiros. You'll explore and learn at Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Mexico City: Cuernavaca (Robert Brady Museum & River Rafting & Tubing), Museo Nacional del Virreinato (in Tepotzotlan) and San Juan Teotihuacan (Piramide de la Serpiente Emplumada & Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5). And it doesn't end there: explore the ancient world of Museo del Templo Mayor, examine the collection at Museo Nacional de Historia, Castillo de Chapultepec, admire the masterpieces at Museo de Arte Popular, and pick up some new knowledge with Memory and Tolerance Museum.
