When to Get There

The best times to visit Monterrey are during spring (March to May) and fall (October and November). In addition to weekends, the St. Lucia Riverwalk can be especially busy in the evenings, when the water is illuminated and the weather is cooler. Riverboat rides take place throughout the day.

Exploring the Macroplaza

One of the world’s largest pedestrian plazas, the Macroplaza is a stretch of green space where most of the city's historical monuments, museums, and hotels are located. One of the plaza’s highlights is the 230-foot-tall (70-meter-tall) lighthouse that shines a green light into the night sky. Around the plaza, you’ll find the Monterrey Cathedral, the Mexican History Museum, and the Monterrey Contemporary Art Museum.
