Nuevo León, especially its capital, Monterrey, is distinguished as a center of business, congresses and conventions, as well as hosting exhibitions and major events, the latter being the segment attracting the majority of visitors to our state. This is due to its notable geographical location and proximity to the southern United States, as well as to the existence of a well-developed infrastructure and huge premises equipped with the latest technology for hosting important events of both national and international scope.

Several events it has hosted in the past are the Cumbre Extraordinaria de las Américas (Extraordinary Summit of the Americas), many top-level performances and the Grand Prix.

Among these venues are the “CINTERMEX” International Business Center, the recently inaugurated “Arena Monterrey” and “Parque Fundidora.”

Monterrey, the third largest city in Mexico, also known as “La Sultana del Norte” (The Sultana of the North), is, in fact, quite an amazing city.

Monterrey is much more than just one of the most important industrial and business center of the country.

A modern and well-planned city that is easy to drive through and filled with cultural activities, Monterrey is inhabited by friendly people who wish to present their city as the most advanced in Mexico. Monterrey has a population of four million inhabitants (including the larger metropolitan area) and has the highest level of education in Mexico, being the city with the most schools, institutes and technical universities per capita in Mexico.

There are numerous tourist attractions nearby to meet all tastes, especially for those who seek vacations complemented by all the amenities associated with the conveniences offered by a large city. Quality restaurants, modern shopping centers, numerous museums and cultural attractions abound here. The mountains, canyons and desert surrounding the city offer pleasant diversion and a wide variety of tourist activities, many of which are not available anywhere else in Mexico. Some of the best places to go hiking, mountain biking, spelunking and generally exploring natural areas are quite close to the city.

A visit to Monterrey is guaranteed to surprise even the most experienced traveler. Tourists often bypass this charming city, opting for coastal tourist centers and other more popular Mexican cities. As Monterrey becomes more well-known, this should begin to change. Tourism has been gaining ground in recent years, as those who travel here on business spread information on Monterrey and even return to spend their family vacations here.
