Beach near Monterrey, Mexico

Monterrey Travel Guide

Mexico

Monterrey is a large city in northern Mexico, with a population of 5,116,647. It is an inland urban centre rather than a coastal resort, so the city is better suited to an urban trip than a beach holiday.

Travellers arriving by air can use Monterrey International Airport (MTY) or Del Norte International Airport (NTR), both of which serve the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Monterrey, so reaching the coast requires travelling farther afield.
