Hola / Que onda (local slang)
How locals say hello in Monterrey
October to April (avoid July and August heat)
Monterrey is Mexico's industrial capital. The iconic Cerro de la Silla mountain frames every skyline view. Barrio Antiguo is the best neighbourhood for nightlife and culture.
On September 20, 1596, Spanish captain Diego de Montemayor founded this mountain valley settlement, naming it after the Count of Monterrey, then Viceroy of New Spain. For most of its history it was a modest colonial town. The transformation came in 1890 when Mexico's first steel mill and the Cervecería Cuauhtémoc brewery were established here, turning Monterrey into Mexico's industrial capital — a reputation it holds today as the country's wealthiest and most business-minded city.
Monterrey is home to some of Latin America's largest multinationals and has one of the highest standards of living in Mexico, earning the nickname "The Sultan of the North."
