It may not be the most happening city for travelers, but self-confident Monterrey is an energetic place that ranks as perhaps the most Americanized city in Mexico. Downtown Monterrey has plenty of metropolitan élan: iconic modern architecture, world-class museums, urbane restaurants and hip bars.
Jagged mountains, including the distinctive saddle-shaped Cerro de la Silla (1288m/4225ft), make a dramatic backdrop for the city. The surrounding countryside's caves, canyons, lakes and waterfalls make it worthwhile to see.
