All these beautiful natural attractions are within a 40 minute car ride from Monterrey. They offer many opportunities for hiking, mountain biking and rappel.
In the center of Monterrey is Barrio Antiguo (Old Town), a picturesque and bohemian center that offers art galleries, cafes, book shops and restaurants.

A few of the tourist attractions in the plaza are the Metropolitan Cathedral, the old Federal Place, The Museum of the NorthEast (MUNE), the Mexican History Museum and the Monterrey Contemporary Art Museum.
Next to the Grand Plaza is the Paseo Santa Lucia (Santa Lucia Canalwalk), a mile and a walf of waterway that connects the Grand Plaza with the Parque Fundidora (Foundry Park), that can be traveled by foot or by boat. Parque Fundidora is a large urban industrial park that contains the main elements of the first steel plant, 114 hectares of natural ambiance, artificial lakes, playgrounds and a Center of the Arts, that includes a cinema, Photo Collection exhibits and the State Plastic Arts Collection exhibits.
