Mexico City 4 days 3 nights walking map, super comprehensive guide that can be copied
I stayed in Mexico City for a week before and after, and I declare that CDMX is my spiritual hometown! There are world-class buildings and museums everywhere, and there are countless places to play and visit. It is a city that will never make people feel bored. I have compiled a super comprehensive guide for 4 days and 3 nights, welcome to refer 🥰
【Day 1 Historic Old Town】
📍Constitution Square - Main Church - National Palace - Temple Mayor Museum - National Art Museum - Palacio Postal - Palace of Art
On the first day, you can walk around the old city and check in at several important points. The National Palace has a tour only at specific times every day; the interior of the National Art Museum is very classic and beautiful; the Palace of Art has the best murals; Palacio Postal just pass by and take a look, unfortunately the most beautiful part is now blocked.

【Day 2 Modern Architecture】
📍Biblioteca Vasconcelo - Casa Gilardi - Casa Estudio Luis Barragán - Museo Suomaya
Vasconcelo Library is like a dream space and also like a four-dimensional space in Interstellar. Both casas are works by famous Mexican architect Luis Barragan. Gilardi is currently a residence and must be booked in advance. Estudio can queue on site. Both are super beautiful and can gain a lot of decoration inspiration. The architecture of the Suomaya Museum is very peculiar, and it is the place with the most Rodin collections outside of France.

【Day 3 Hot Air Balloon Pyramid】
📍Sunrise hot air balloon tour - Teotihuacan Sun and Moon Pyramid - Castillo de Chapultepec
It is recommended to take a hot air balloon in CDMX, and the unique scenery floats over the top of the Sun and Moon Pyramid at sunrise, and the price is not too expensive. After coming down, go directly to visit the pyramid. You must find a guide to explain, otherwise it is just watching the excitement. It ends at about 1 o'clock and returns. In the afternoon, you can go to Chapultepec Castle, which has a beautiful palace and you can overlook Reforma Avenue from the terrace.

【Day 4 Two Heavyweight Museums】
📍Frida Museum - National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico - Shopping in Reforma District - Mercado de Artesanías La Ciudadela
The last day is left to my two favorite museums. The Frida Blue House needs to be booked in advance, and must arrive on time. It takes two hours to glance at the Anthropology Museum. It is recommended to do some homework in advance. There is no audio guide or manual explanation on site, you can download the guide app, and the exhibition sign is quite detailed. Afterwards, if you have time, you can go shopping in the Reforma district, there are many cute shops; the handicraft market can also go, all kinds of souvenirs are available.

【Travel Tips】
- Many museums are closed on Monday, check before you go
- Make an appointment as soon as possible, we went on the eve of the Day of the Dead, the number of tourists surged and almost couldn’t make an appointment
- Most indoor photography requires additional purchase of permits, prices range from 5 to 50 pesos; Casa Estudio Luis Barragán is the most exaggerated, 500 pesos
- The cost of living in CDMX is not cheap, similar to Beijing
- We didn’t feel any insecurity when we went, maybe it was also because the police force increased during the festival, but overall it was not as exaggerated as the rumors, it is a normal international metropolis
