City of Palaces
Breathtakingly large, Mexico City provides a home for almost 9 million people living in nearly 1,700 distinct neighborhoods.Museum-lovers will get to explore Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan Estacionamiento Puerta 5 and Zocalo are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Get out of town with these interesting Mexico City side-trips: Puebla (Museo Viviente, Zocalo, &more), San Juan Teotihuacan (Piramide de la Serpiente Emplumada & Teotihuacan Pyramids) and Cuernavaca (Spanish Language Institute - Day Course, Robert Brady Museum, &more). There's still lots to do: browse the exhibits of Museo del Templo Mayor, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica de Santa Maria de Guadalupe, wander the streets of Historic Center (Centro Historico), and stroll through Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.
