Planning a week in Mexico City and want to make the most of your trip? CDMX is one of the world’s most vibrant capitals—full of culture, food, history, art, markets, and hidden gems. With so much to see, building the perfect itinerary can feel overwhelming.
Here’s your complete 7-day Mexico City itinerary, crafted by local experts at Andares Tours, to help you explore the city in the most authentic, delicious, and memorable way.

It’s the perfect introduction to understand the city’s layout and culture.
