Monterrey! Now we're talking!!! The most modern city in Mexico, a lot of places to hang out and party. A LOT of entertainment alternatives. Definitley a place to go. DON'T expect to see a poor, third-world place: Monterrey is the elite of Mexico and Latin America.

best bar: UMA. barrio antiguo.

Monterrey es una ciudad muy parecida a Texas.. con muchos restaurants, cafeterias americanas. Es una ciudad que se encuentra entre montañas, tiene lindos paisajes y se puede recorrer la fábrica fundidora, e se encuentra fuera de actividad hace tiempo, y el barrio viejo que es un barrio muy colonial. Sobre comidas se come muy bien en el "Rey del Cabrito" para los que comen carne

If you have time in Monterrey go to the Chipinque national park. It is a green area with beautifull views over the city and the mountains.

Go up into the mountains and look at the city at night, it's beautiful! In a city of 7 million people, there's tons to do!

You don´t need to exchange money here prior to you arrival, the ATM machines accept all major cards plus cirrus and maestro cards. If you do however wish to bring cash, bring USD as you will get far more for your money. Food and nightlife are abundent here, I can recommend XBOX cafe for the best Pizza´s in town, and Señor Tenaka for the best sushi. Night life...well just head downtown into the center and experience it for yourself. Women travellers, i wouldn´t recommend coming here alone, come with a crowd or with a guy, safety first!!!.

beautiful place to vacation, bring a camera and your own water

Walk throughout the Zona Rosa, where the Plaza is a place to see and be seen and the street scene is as hectic as any you will see in North America. Enjoy the mercado, with a dizzying array of sights, sounds, and aromas.

Barrio Antiguo, lot of Discos, such as e.g. Bar Rio, Anana, La Chabela or Manaus

Since PESOS exchange rate is not very stable, it is better to take dollars and then exchange here. There are many places on the street can provide the service, these plance provide better rate than the ones in the airport.
