Four days built around the only thing that makes Mexico City navigable: neighbourhoods. Day 1 stays inside the flat, walkable Centro Histórico — deliberately, because the city sits at about 2,240 m and day one is where altitude bites, so nothing here is uphill and nothing starts before 09:30. Day 2 is the Bosque de Chapultepec pairing that no first visit should skip (Anthropology in the morning, the castle after lunch), ending on foot in leafy Condesa. Day 3 is the Teotihuacán day trip done independently by bus rather than by coach tour, and day 4 is Coyoacán in the morning — Casa Azul, the market, Trotsky's house — then back north to Roma Norte for the afternoon and the trip's best dinner. Two bookings decide whether this works: the Frida Kahlo Museum sells online only and routinely sells out weeks ahead, and Máximo Bistrot needs a reservation. One more thing fixes the shape of the whole trip: every museum here except the Torre Latino closes on Mondays, so don't start this itinerary on a Sunday. Prices are 2026 INAH foreign-visitor rates, checked 25 July 2026.

How we check
Anything with a kitchen or a ticket gate is verified individually: the official site where one exists, plus recent traveler reviews. Public squares, parks and viewpoints get an existence check. A venue we can’t confirm is flagged below rather than quietly kept, and the whole itinerary is re-checked on a cadence — past 12 months without one, the checked claim is dropped and the date above stops being a promise.
