About Monterrey
Completely surrounded by the beauty of the Sierra Madre Mountains, Mexico's third largest city - Monterrey - is both a modern and colonial treat. The city is a magnet for commercial industry because of a skilled labor force and its beer, steel, clothing and chemicals export business. Monterrey's city center, Gran Plaza or Macroplaza, is a 40-hectares (nearly 100 acres) square designed as the state of Nuevo Leon's governmental seat. The plaza's décor, which mixes both new and old, features restored colonial buildings, manicured gardens, lush fountains, and park bench areas. In addition to having traditional, colonial-styled cathedrals and palaces, Monterrey is also quite modern and urban. It offers a variety of parks and museums as well as resort areas that are tucked away among the beauty of the Sierra Madres, yet easily convenient to the city. Monterrey's Museo de Arte Contemporáneo celebrates the finest contemporary art, while the Museo de Historia Mexicana keeps locals connected to the past. The city has a metropolitan feel and a large population that give it a busy buzz. The Barrio Antiguo, located to the east of the city square, is the area's hottest entertainment destination, with trendy nightclubs, charming eateries, and avant garde art galleries aplenty. The wealthy nature of this industrialized city makes it a prime location for plenty of modern shopping malls, such as the Galerías Monterrey and the Plaza Comercial Morelos, boasting designer labels and trendy boutiques. Restaurants are spread throughout the city and feature cuisine from around the globe.
