Hello! As a technology consultant, I travel all over Mexico. And as a Local Guide, I get anxious trying to visit all I can in my free time.
Fortunately, last year I was visiting Monterrey at the north of the country and I had a couple of days to know the city. Here I share my favorite places in this famous business city.

All photos self captured with Nikon D3200 - two lens (18-55 mm and 55-200 mm).
1. Macroplaza
Town square of colossal space, perfect for walking and admiring its fountains and nearby places of interest.
2. Barrio Antiguo
Interesting neighborhood, excellent to walk and admire the streets and the architecture.
3. Paseo Santa Lucía
Favorite place to walk in Mexico, admiring its canal and structures. Either, in direction from the Macroplaza to Parque Fundidora or vice versa.
4. Parque Fundidora / Museo del Acero horno3
Enormous public big park with multiple sites. Highly recommended to visit the Steel Museum, to know about the industry and the history of the production in the region.
5. Parque la Huasteca
Beautiful park to enjoy and admire nature.
6. Mirador del Obispado
Here you can see the city from the top; do not forget to visit the church.
