Things to do in Monterrey

Surrounded by the Sierra Madre Oriental, Monterrey combines urban energy with mountain magic. Start by riding the cable car up Cerro de la Silla or hiking in Parque La Huasteca for sweeping views and canyon landscapes. In the heart of the city, stroll along the Macroplaza, visit the Palacio de Gobierno, and admire the imposing Catedral Metropolitana.

Art, design, and history fans should check out the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MARCO) and the Museo del Obispado (in a hilltop fortress). For architecture and science, the Planetario Alfa in nearby San Pedro Garza García offers immersive exhibits and a giant sphere. Foodies must try cabrito (roast goat) and arrachera alongside <a href=”https://www.sanpedrogardens.com” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>craft beers</a> in trendy Barrio Antiguo. At night, the Barrio Antiguo nightlife, galleries, cafés, and music venues pulse—especially around Calle Morelos.

If time allows, escape the city for day trips: explore the striking caves at Cueva de García, take a splash at El Salto de Chipinque, or ride through the rugged region of La Huasteca. With dramatic terrain, local culture, and a thriving arts scene, Monterrey gives you more than a stadium backdrop.
