This itinerary spends three days in Mexico City, two days in San Miguel de Allende and two days in Guanajuato. The Mexico City days cover the historic center, Coyoacan, the National Museum of Anthropology and a trip to the Teotihuacan pyramids. Buses then link the colonial towns in order.
Purchase tickets online the day before through the official site to avoid lines at the gate. Arrive by 8 am to beat midday heat and crowds.
Direct buses from Terminal Norte take about 3.5 to 4 hours, with several daily departures on ETN and Primera Plus. Reserve seats online the day before and carry your passport for boarding.
Two full days cover the main plazas, churches and viewpoints with time to spare. Base yourself near El Jardín to walk everywhere and skip taxis.
Walk the compact historic center and use taxis or buses through the tunnels. Take the funicular behind Teatro Juárez up to the Monumento al Pípila viewpoint.
