Monterrey Travel Guide

 6 Reviews  In the middle of Monterrey's modern day concrete jungle, the Obispado is to be found perched on a hill overlooking the city. Being the former episcopal residence, it is now transformed into a museum commemorating important historical events and personalities. It is an example of brilliant colonial... 

 4 Reviews  Take a free tour of Cuahtemoc Brewery (makers of Sol, Dos Equis, Bohemia, among others). Tours are offered during regular business hours and on Saturdays until 2:00 pm. No photos allowed inside. Across from the entrance is a nice shaded garden with chairs and tables and a kiosk that offers all... 

 2 Reviews  The Paseo de Santa Lucia (also called the River Walk, in English) is a charming way to get from the museum area to the very large Parc Fundidora. A cheap boat ride will save you the walk along a pleasant artificial canal, although the walk itself is also pleasant. Near the museum end there are some... 

 3 Reviews  If you have the breath enought to climb Cerro de la Silla to the Teleferico, you will see a post card like this, seeing the 3 million people city below your feet. This is an easy 2.5 Km hike travel beginning in La Pastora park. 

 5 Reviews  This is a long-recognized Monterrey tradition for its local specialty, roast kid goat. It has a kitschy atmosphere of what a Mexican hunting lodge would look like with all kinds of stuffed deer, mountain lions, etc. As you walk in the grill is on your left and you can see the meat roasting. Roasted... 

 3 Reviews  Taxis are the best way to get around Monterrey. They are pretty cheap and are usually never more than 4 or 5 dollars to get around the city. If you dont speak Spanish try and write down the address where you are going because the driver probably wont speak English. Most places (Hotels & Restaurants)... 

 3 Reviews  An older building was renovated and turned into a mini-mall, with lots of small booths inside. Most of them will probably not interest tourists very much, but the second floor has a nice variety of offerings in the food court. 

 3 Reviews  Mostly on the weekends restaurants (and sometimes individuals) will set up grills on the side of the road and roast kid goats, chicken, sausages, etc. Not exactly haute cuisine, but at least you see how and where it's being cooked, and the price is usually right. 

 2 Reviews  Dogs, in the sense we normally consider them, at least from the perspective of American or European societies, are pets. Here they are pets as well, but often are not as forgiving of trespassers as our pooch might unfortunately be. While there are the well-fed, house-trained, guard dogs that bark... 

 2 Reviews  Waterfall Cola de Caballo Buses leave at the central bus station and go about an hour, then a mini bus will take you up to waterfall. To get in without paying the fee walk up the street a bit and take one of the trails leading down on the right hand side. 

 3 Reviews  The heroes square is a remember of our history, monuments to great mexican history personalities can be founded here. This is the governors palace, made from pink stones, you can see inside some painted windows about Mexican history. During evenings some people come here to listen world wide music...
