Frequently asked questions
What is the number one thing to do in Mexico City?
The Teotihuacan pyramids day trip is the essential experience, but the Frida Kahlo Museum and the National Museum of Anthropology round out the classic Mexico City trio. This list ranks them all by traveller reviews.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
Two days covers the city highlights — the historic centre, Chapultepec, the Anthropology Museum, and Coyoacan; a third day lets you add the Teotihuacan pyramids. See our 2- and 3-day Mexico City itineraries.
Is Mexico City expensive for tourists?
It's one of the better-value major capitals — food tours, museum tickets, and lucha libre nights are mid-priced, and many of the headline attractions cost far less than their European equivalents.
