City guide · Mexico
Mexico City is a large, high-altitude capital made of several visitor districts rather than one centre. The Historic Centre contains the Zócalo, cathedral, museums and remains of Tenochtitlan. Reforma, Chapultepec and Polanco form a western corridor, Roma and Condesa sit farther south, and Coyoacán and Xochimilco require separate journeys. Assign each day to one district cluster and leave time for cross-city travel.
Set your days, your pace and the hours you actually want to be out. The planner works around closing days and travel time, and leaves room to eat.

Use the Historic Centre as one walking cluster, then treat Chapultepec and the Paseo de la Reforma museums as another. Roma, Condesa and Zona Rosa can be combined, while Coyoacán and San Ángel make a southern cultural day. Xochimilco lies farther southeast and Teotihuacán is outside the city. The official tourism guides map these areas separately because repeated crossings can consume more time than individual visits.

The Metro and Metrobús are the main public-transport backbone, supported by buses, trolleybuses and licensed taxis. Stations are dense in central districts but not every museum or southern attraction sits beside one. Plan the final walk and any interchange before departure, allowing more time at peak periods. Teotihuacán and other outlying destinations use separate regional transport and do not belong in a central Metro itinerary.

the Historic Centre, Chapultepec, Roma-Condesa and the southern districts are separate clusters
No fixed stay length is recorded; choose the district clusters that matter and assign each its own time.
Metro and Metrobús handle many long journeys, but the final walk and interchange still need planning.
Coyoacán and Xochimilco are southern journeys; Teotihuacán is a separate excursion outside the city.
The Historic Centre is the clearest first cluster for the Zócalo, cathedral and central museums.
