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.

Get some historical perspective at Square of the Three Cultures and House of Tiles (Casa de los Azulejos). You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Murales de Diego Rivera en la Secretaria de Educacion Publica and Museo de Arte Popular. Explore Mexico City's surroundings by going to Tepozteco (in Tepoztlan) and Palacio de Cortes (in Cuernavaca). There's still lots to do: wander the streets of San Angel, admire the masterpieces at Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso, explore the engaging exhibits at Memory and Tolerance Museum, and stop by La Condesa.
