Barrio Antiguo Walking Tour
Monterrey, Mexico
About This Activity
Barrio Antiguo is Monterrey's oldest neighborhood, a compact grid of colorful colonial-era buildings converted into galleries, restaurants, mezcalerías, and craft beer bars. The area comes alive at night with a thriving nightlife scene, but daytime visits reveal street art, indie boutiques, and cozy coffee shops. Start at the corner of Morelos and Aram Berri, then wander south. Free to walk; budget for food and drinks.
Seasonal note: Year-round; nightlife peaks on weekends
