Monterrey Travel Guide
This is the second most important city in Mexico, presenting a wide array of cultural and leisure options, as well as loads of business opportunities. Undoubtedly, Monterrey is seen by people in Mexico and all over the world as a modern, safe and constantly growing place, which has been achieved little by little through the strength of its hard working and friendly inhabitants since its foundation, almost 500 years ago. Silent witnesses to their everyday efforts and historical battles, the Saddle Mountain and the Bishopric Hill have become symbols of the city.
Also known as the ''City of the Mountains,'' Monterrey hosts important industries like those of glass, concrete, and metal, all of them key elements for the economic and infrastructural development of the rest of the states in this country and a great deal for international companies willing to invest in Mexico. For this reason, Monterrey has a lot of comfortable and convenient business class hotels, conventions centers and auditoriums, ready to host meetings, conferences and commercial exhibitions.
Those travelers not only interested in the economic profits but also in eco-tourism, culture, partying, shopping and great dining experiences will see their dreams come true in this northern city. Places like Chipinque Park, the Alfa Planetarium, Galerias Monterrey Mall and many museums are located within or close to the downtown area. During your stay you may have a wheat tortilla taco of roasted young goat meat, which is a delicious specialty of the region, and dance to the rhythm of Nortena music while having several shots of tequila and beer.
