There are many enjoyable day trips from Mexico City.
– The silver mining city of Taxco, Guerrero is a great spot to pick up souvenirs while exploring a quaint colonial village in the hills.
– The ruins of Teotihuacán are just an hour outside of Mexico City, and are not to be missed. You can climb the pyramid of the sun (one of the largest in the world) and learn about the history of the Aztec people.
– You can also visit the colonial city of Puebla, south of Mexico City. This colorful town is known for its Talavera pottery, and the delicious Mexican dish, mole poblano. It’s a great place to go for a break from the hustle and bustle of Mexico City.
