Saturday
Today is about experiencing Mexico City during Día de Muertos.
Across the city, you'll find ofrendas, marigolds, artwork and public celebrations honoring those who have passed.

The city's celebrations typically include public ofrendas and events throughout late October and early November.

Monday · Departure Day
Grab breakfast or take one last walk around the neighborhood before heading home.
Not ready to leave? PTO Plan will also share recommendations for travelers who want to extend their stay in Mexico City.
Make the trip your own: group travel, without the group itinerary. We'll give you plenty of ways to experience Mexico City together—from our welcome dinner to Día de Muertos programming—but you won't be expected to spend the entire weekend with the group.
Join an activity, find someone in the group chat who wants to explore the same neighborhood, make dinner plans with a few other travelers or head off on your own. You decide what your Mexico City weekend looks like.
