What to do in Mexico City when it rains

Swap a day

Day 6 is the one to keep dry: Teotihuacan is outdoors. Day 2 has nothing outdoors on it. Indoors that day: National Museum of Anthropology and Museo Soumaya. If day 6 comes up wet, trade the two days and keep both.

Indoors on the plan

• National Museum of Anthropology day 2
  Aztec Sun Stone and pre-Hispanic halls in Chapultepec.
• Museo Soumaya day 2
  Private art collection in a building of hexagonal aluminum tiles.
• Palacio de Bellas Artes day 3
  Murals by Rivera and Siqueiros on the upper floors.
• Torre Latinoamericana day 3
  Observation deck on the 44th floor.
• Casa Azul day 4
  Frida Kahlo's blue house, now her museum.
• Museo Anahuacalli day 4
  Diego Rivera's volcanic-stone museum of pre-Hispanic pieces.
• Mercado de la Ciudadela day 5
  Crafts market, work from across the country.

Outdoors, worth moving

Put these on a dry day rather than drop them.

• Roma Norte on foot day 1
  Early 1900s mansions around Plaza Río de Janeiro.
