Brides go and take their pictures there. and I just love to drive around it, it is very old Mexico style. At night the bars are sometimes good sometimes not. Better to go with someone who knows the area. More

This area might be considered as dangerous to many these days. But on Sunday, in the afternoon, it comes alive again. And you can find craft, vintage items, art etc. Also some cool cafes such as Trece Luna, Tierra Libre in the area for the weekday boredom. A must-go in Monterrey! More

If you are looking for a good time head to Monterrey,Mexico. I travel to mexico a few times a year each time to Monterrey. When I go me and my friends hit the clubs and bars along with everything in between. Saltillo is cool and a lot more laid back. I was there from August 5th-13th 2003. IF you're looking... More

I just came back from living in Monterrey for six months. Barrio Antiguo is by far my favorite part of the city. This is where all the bars and clubs are at. The perfect place to go party all night! More
