Mexico City is the 5th largest city in the world, with over 21 million people and a whopping neighbourhoods. With a city packed with so much culture and history, it can feel overwhelming deciding where to spend your time, what restaurants to eat at and what galleries and shops to visit.
Our mission was to find unique places and hidden gems that make the city so special. We spent almost 2 weeks exploring and have picked out what we think are the must-see spots for your 4 days in Mexico City. The way the colourful city celebrates and preserves its indigenous roots is unlike many places we have visited. This shines through in their deep food culture with many cooking methods having a culinary heritage, and in their modern design, which takes inspiration from traditional textiles, colours and shapes.
If you love food and art and are looking to immerse yourself into the local culture, this 4 Day Mexico City itinerary is for you. Day 1 : Discover quirky eateries and unique boutiques in Roma, Mexico City's coolest neighborhood.
Day 3 : See the architecturally inspiring San Miguel Chapultepec neighborhood and hang out in the up-and-coming Juarez neighborhood. You may surprised to hear that Mexico City is located 2, m 7, ft above sea level on an ancient lake bed surrounded by mountains.
A crazy fact is that it used to be an Aztec city on an island on Lake Texcoco, however the lake was drained over time by the Spanish to develop land for Mexico City. This location makes for a drier climate with warm days and cool nights.
