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.

You'll visit kid-friendly attractions like El Nido and Six Flags Mexico. Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Parque Nacional Izta-Popo (in Amecameca) and Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 (in San Juan Teotihuacan). There's much more to do: learn more about the world around you at Museo Nacional de Antropologia, take in the spiritual surroundings of Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana), get a sense of history and politics at National Palace (Palacio Nacional), and contemplate the long history of Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
