Day 1 in CDMX

Day 1 of a 7-Day Mexico City Travel Itinerary

Lots of people will tell you you have to take it easy on Day 1. But generally people getting to Mexico City are too excited to sit still.

We planned your Day 1 around a trip to the City Center. And there's dozens of ways to do it.

Just walking around Mexico City's Historic Center gives you dozens of options.

But most people will start with the Zocalo Area. (East in the map)
- Not to be missed: The Templo Mayor Museum
From the Zocalo, walk west along the Avenida Francisco Madero. There's lots to see along the way.
You'll end up the Palacio de Bellas Artes, and the Alameda Central Area.
The truly inspired will then head south into the San Juan Moyotlan neighborhood.
Finishing up at the Ciudadela Market means you get a good look at some of what's available from Mexico City's strong arts and crafts culture.
