Question

How many days does one need in mexico city?

Answer 1

Wow..

Hard question..

It depends of waht you want..

there are beatiful places ti visit in the city and around the city..

If you like ruins, maybe 2 or 3 days

Or museums maybe 1 week

Famous or Historiacal places 2 or 3 days

the problem of Mexico City its that its very big, and you cant viict to much palces in one day, you have to divide your tour by regions

Answer 2

Depends on your interests and such, from Mexico City you can also go to a few other nice old towns like Taxco, Puebla, etc.

Either of those can be done as a day trip from Mexico City, if its your first time there, I'd say 3 days is pushing a lot in, 5 days would be good.

If your visiting for museums and such, I would suggest NOT visiting on sundays, most of them are free admission on sundays and many many many families visit there and its nearly impossible to get in without very long waits.

Answer 3

All the time that you want :)

You can visit Toluca too its nervy Mexico city and it´s cool to I live in Toluca and "mi casa es tu casa"

ENJOY MEXICO

Answer 4

It really depends on what you're interested in, the average traveler will spend 2 or 3 days but the city has a lot more so you could spend a full week without seeing it all. Most of foreign tourists spend 1 day for the Historic Downtown and Reforma Avenue and this includes a MUST visit to the Museum of Archaeology (top ranked in the world) and on day two a visit to the nearby pyramids of Teotihuacan. Be advised that most of the attractions are spread out around the city. A good way to see most of the city if you are short of time is to use the Turibis, the double decker sightseeing bus , which now has a second route and I belive it reaches down to Coyoacan. www.turibus.com.mx   Enjoy your stay!

Answer 5

i went its cool you probably need 4 days

Answer 6

Although Mexico City is renowned for its massive size and excessive pollution, crime and traffic, travelers who venture to the capital of Mexico will be rewarded with some impressive sights and sounds. As one of the largest cities in the world, there are museums, archaeological sites, historical buildings and bustling markets to occupy a visitor for months on end. The choices can be overwhelming! To make the best use of your time, here are my top ten Mexico City sights to include in your visit.

1. The Plaza de la Constitución, or Zocalo

Mexico City's Zocalo

This is the main square of Mexico City’s historic center. At 830 x 500 feet, it's the second largest public square in the world (Moscow’s Red Square is bigger).

2. Catedral Metropolitana (Metropolitan Cathedral)

The enormous cathedral on the North side of the Zocalo was built over a period of 250 years and has a mixture of architectural styles.

3. Palacio Nacional (National Palace)

The government building takes up the East side of the Zocalo and houses the federal treasury and national archives.

4. Templo Mayor (Great Temple)

In 1978 electric company workers digging beside the cathedral unearthed a large round stone depicting the Aztec moon goddess Coyolxauqui, which spurred the excavation of this, the main Aztec temple, dedicated to Tlaloc, the god of rain and Huitzilopochtli, the god of war.

5. Palacio de Bellas Artes (Fine Arts Palace)

This grandiose theater was planned to commemorate the centenary of Mexican independence in 1910, but was not completed until 1934.

6. Museo Nacional de Antropologia (National Anthropology museum)

Located in Chapultepec Park, this museum contains the most impressive collection of Mesoamerican artifacts in the world.

7. Xochimilco

The chinampas, or “floating gardens” of the Aztecs were an ingenious agricultural technique to create arable land on the lake.

8. Museo Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo Casa Azul

The Casa Azul or Blue House in Coyoacan was the family home of the famous artist and wife of painter Diego Rivera. They lived here during the last 14 years of her life.

9. Teotihuacan

About 25 miles outside of Mexico City, this archaeological site is worth a day trip. The "city of the gods" was a huge urban center with a population of 200 000, occupied from 200 BC to 800 AD.

10. Basilica de Guadalupe

The hill where the virgin of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego is now the most visited religious site in the country.

So i's say 4 days:1 day for numbers 1 to 5 and 1 day for nmber 6 and 1 day for 7 and 8 and 1 day for 9 and 10.

Answer 7

For just Mexico city, 4 days, but if you will want know other places, depends whichs, there are many places to know in Mexico.
