Sunday mornings at 11am and Thursday evenings at 18:30 the courtyard atrium of Monterrey's City Hall transforms into a spacious dance floor. The city provides an orchestra and the public is invited to come dance to big band sounds. While there, you can gaze up at the multi-level series of murals representing Monterrey's ever-changing political environment, with colonial imperialists on the lowest tier, the Mexican War of Independence on the second level up, and more recent events along the third level.

Zuazua at Jardón. Monterrey's large, modern forum for contemporary arts is an architecturally stunning showpiece that features a fascinating collection of modern Latino artists. Frequently changing special expositions mean the museum is never the same tour twice. Includes a small outdoor sculpture garden.
Catedral Metropolitana de Nuestra Señora de Monterrey
Monterrey's cathedral is one of the few colonial-style landmarks in the city. Younger and less elaborate than the cathedrals of Central Mexican cities, it is nonetheless a beautiful church worth seeking out, especially for a Sunday mass.
The old city hall has been transformed into a delightful, low-key museum. The ground floor features some permanent historical exhibits, but the upper level is usually dedicated to showcasing emerging local artists.
The bright orange obelisk is a monument to Monterrey's business orientation. At night, laser beacons light the sky.
