I traveled there from Sweden due to work, and I must say that I loved it, the people is amazing, open and honest, big difference with the ones in Mexico City where I also have been, in Mexico City they just wanted to get money from me and take me to night clubs, etc so I would pay their drinks...so I would pay, taxi drivers would try to charge ...
I'm originally from Monterrey. And for the tourist that are planing or interested in visiting I recomend they look up and plan well every activity they are interested in.
For a week end it's a perfect visit. But for more than a week I sugest you get some info on how everything works.
Monterrey can be very fun and has lots to offer. ...
Perfect size, modern city. Home to the best soccer team in all of Mexico (The Rayados of Monterrey) and the worst soccer team in all of Mexico (The Tigres.)

Viva Monterrey!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/07/06
I like everthing. Beautiful mountains, nice weather. Many attractions, great bars and clubs, great people. My favorite place in Mexico! It's like being in an American city. The only thing is you may see some litter on the streets but hey they'll eventually clean it up! Monterrey is the best!
I was only in Monterrey a couple of days, but was quite impressed with its beauty and charm. The people are terrific, some of the nicest I've ever met. It's a modern city with the feel of old world Mexico.
Tip: a) Take a trip to the park at the mountain. Great views and people watching.
b) Save a lot of energy for the club scene downtown. These guys party all night.

It's a great place to visit if you are from there or know the place very well.

Not much I could think of that I dislike. I would visit in the summer or spring. Fall and winter there are lots of fog and you can't see the mountains very well or not at all.
I've been living in this city for 2 years, since I had to move from the country capital. This is a gray city in most aspects. With this I don't mean it doesn't have green areas -in fact it does have a lot-, but that there isn't something interesting about this city. Downtown is nice, but quite small (a couple of streets).
