Monterrey may not have that colonial charm that most of Mexico is known for, but that’s what makes it special. Its special cosmopolitan vibe and the fact that it’s an entrepreneurial and economic powerhouse has spawned a unique Mexican subculture punctuated by modern hipster establishments, elegant architecture, and vibrant university life set against the backdrop of picturesque mountain ranges.

Art enthusiasts should not miss out exhibits at the MARCO, or the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, for some eye-popping works as well as a scenic courtyard that provides you with spectacular views of Cerro de la Silla.
