City overview
As one of the largest cities in all of Mexico, the capital city of Nuevo Leon offers a tourist-friendly introduction to the country. With modern amenities and many comforts one would expect to find in a western city, Monterrey is a welcoming stepping stone into all that Mexico has to offer.
Within the city, tourists will find there is plenty to enjoy. From historic monuments to cultural attractions and non-stop entertainment, Monterrey is a vibrant destination. Start a trip to the city with an architectural tour of sites like the Monterrey State’s Government Palace, the Old Federal Palace and the Metropolitan Cathedral, some of the finest specimens of historical architecture in the city.
Afterward, balance architecture with culture with visits to attractions like the Monterrey Contemporary Art Museum, the Museum of Mexican History and the Alfa Planetarium, where you can get your fill of artwork, local history and science, respectively.
One might notice that Monterrey is surrounded by mountains, and indeed, this protected city offers an array of ways to enjoy Mother Nature. Ecotourism is a big draw here, and visitors enjoy exploring not just the mountains, but the waterfalls, trails and cliffs of Monterrey, too.
Back in the heart of the city, shoppers will enjoy the modern shopping malls that boast designer names and international labels. For a more locally flavored shopping excursion, the shops of Zona Rosa and Carretera Nacional are a must-visit.
Of course, one can’t visit Monterrey without digging into some true, authentic Mexican cuisine, and countless restaurants in the city serve freshly grilled meats and spicy sides. Don’t miss the slow-cooked goat, a Monterrey specialty.
