Lovely thumbnail 👍🏻
Israel Plata ~ Hello and thank you for this interesting video! Monterrey looks so beautiful and colorful! I will definitely check out your above listed videos, too! Many thanks! 🙂
The way I look at things in general for Mexico as far as cities:
1) Monterrey is Mexico's engine. It's where stuff gets made. It's a city that works....much like the Midwestern USA...think the old Detroit or Chicago. The only difference is the mountains.
Mexico City is like Washington DC and NYC combined. It's the equivalent to Manhattan and Washington DC's National Mall.
Puebla is the Grand Dame of the "South". It is maybe like Atlanta.
Merida is probably like Savannah GA.
Cancun is like "Florida".
Guadalajara is like Mexico's Silicon Valley... California
Puerto Vallarta is maybe something like either Southern California or San Diego. Loc Cabis also fits this.
Queretaro, that is maybe something like Seattle, Boise, Omaha, or Kansas City.. difficult to say.
Tijuana, if it gets its crime rate under control, would maybe fit something like Seattle or Anchorage. Don't know.
This is my take. I know it's not totally accurate. I do not even want this to be absolute. I know I am not perfect... though I have traveled extensively in Latin America. I am not a Mexican, and many apologies if I offended anyone.
I'm from Monterrey and it's true, Monterrey or the North East of Mexico (Nuevo León, Coahuila and Tamaulipas) is like the American Midwestern. 🤠
@@JorgeSchz2004es al revés de donde crees que son los primeros "cowboys"
@@JorgeSchz2004I think for emphasis Detroit used to be the richest city in America 60 years ago. Very industrial and very wealthy. This can be forgotten due to how broken Detroit is today.
Idk, comparing Tijuana to Seattle is a bit crazy imo 😂 Other than that i agree
cancun like Florida? are you crazy? not even close
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for...
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes...
@@ALADEMUSTAPHA-or9fx That's actually quite impressive, I could use some Info on your FA, I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well
@@ChristopherAnthony-9 My advisor is Victoria Carmen Santaella;
You can look her up online
@@ALADEMUSTAPHA-or9fx The crazy part is that those advisors are probably outperforming the market and raising good returns but some are charging fees over fees that drain your portfolio. Is this the case with yours too?
For me Monterrey is the most prosperous and modern city of Mexico. It has some western- cowboy vibe...something likeThe Dallas of Mexico.
It is. 🤠
I would say more like Houston with Mountains. Dallas has more of a “Downtown” where all the tall buildings are concentrated. In MTY and HOU the skyscrapers are spread out and just kind of random and they don’t really connect well.
@@RR64434 Yeah, is more like Houston.
Totalmente de acuerdo 😃
Una imitacion de vaqueros porque nuevo leon nunca tuvo nd que ver con la cultura vaquera los que si son chihuahua, sonora, texas y durango
I love Monterrey and it has become a favorite vacation spot since it's close to Texas I can take short weekend trips. Thank you for this amazing video.
Is it safe being so close to the border? Is it safe to cross the border and get there with my own car?
@@NilDreams the city is relatively safe, but crossing the border from Texas is not safe at all, as someone who was born and raised in Monterrey i wouldn't advise you to ever step into Tamaulipas, it is pretty dangerous in there, Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo are pretty bad places to cross the border
@@pannacottafugo4869 thank you so much for this information! Which border crossing on way to Guadalajara is safest?
@@NilDreams i would avise any other than Nuevo Laredo, but if you decide to still cross through there, I would strongly recommend taking the police caravan, they are located right under the bridge after you cross, they do one per hour and it’s free, they take you all the way through Nuevo Laredo until the first toll where the highway to Monterrey starts, after this, it’s relatively safe to drive
@@ernestorc2152 hmmm…but are they trustworthy?? I’ve heard they are notoriously corrupt. Are there safer entry points?
I love your European travel videos, but I'm so glad you're back in Mexico sharing its magic and beauty to the rest of the world. As a huge fan of your channel I look forward to seeing what other gorgeous Mexican cities you have in store for us.
Thank you Joey 😉
I'm very interested in visiting Monterrey! I now live in San Antonio so I have no excuse not to visit for a quick weekend trip! I've been to Mexico City three times so this will be a nice, slower paced contrast. It looks amazing and modern and clean!
I live in San Antonio too! Howdy neighbor! 🤠
Try visiting Cancún Quintana roo, Mexico if you like the beach...
Its like hawaii but less expensive and it doesnt have mountains but it does have, clear blue watter huge jungle with jaguars and other tipes of wild cats xD
Indeed, I went to Monterrey and it was great! ✨
It is all of my those photos things but the traffic is unbearable
why on earth would u want to live here? other cities in mexico are way nicer.
My dad is from Monterrey. He was deported in 2012 and has been living there ever since, but he always tells me that when he's able to come back that he'll take me to go see Monterrey. I genuinely can't wait for when I'm able to go see this beautiful city for myself!
That's great, you will love this beautiful city. Monterrey es tu casa (Mty is your house too).
Me quiero mudar a Santiago, Nuevo León. Vivo en US pero me quiero regresar a Mexico. Love my Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤️
Gracias Israel. Uno de los mejores videos de nuestra ciudad. Y aun hizo falta mucho mas.
Another beautiful video! Definitely want to visit Monterrey.
Estuve en MTY hace dos semanas y de acuerdo contigo, el calor no te deja explorar bien en el verano. Lo disfrutamos igual, pero definitivamente visitaremos en otoño o invierno. Muy buen footage y todo bien explicado. Gracias por el video.
I just came across your channel while searching for videos on Monterrey. Being from Texas, I've met a lot of people with connections to Monterrey. Your video was wonderful. The footage from your drone is awesome. I look forward to visiting that city one day. Thank you.
I went to Monterrey for a Dodger game & was in the good part of town, were the people were cool, beer was cheap and you had three Mexicans in Cowboy hats playing accordion music in some random bar.
Cowboy culture is originally mexican, gringos copied it, rodeo is a spanish word...
@@tonosazules8221 The original people of mexico are the natives. The ones who brought the whole cattle/horse culture to mexico was of course the europeans. They taught the mestizo how to be a cowboy. Cattle herding, leather making, cooking & gutting cattle was all taught by the europeans. Even the leather chaps, saddles, belts, hats, etc. Only thing that changed over the years was the style of hats.
@@joeshmoe8952 natives were not mexican since Mexico did not exist as such, cowboy culture was from Nueva España, it was an andalusian thing and then it was from México when it was a republic, grin gos copied it, period.
There are other variants in latin America, like the argentinian gaucho and the chilean huaso.
@@tonosazules8221it came from Europe
... it's such a delight to see your delight! The hard work of our drone footage has added a new and refreshing dynamic to your video's. Monterrey adds another beautiful depth and dimension to Mexico!
This video was great! I can’t believe you don’t have more subs. I’ll be sure to share this video.
Monterrey has an Iconic setting. The mountains and natural features remind me of cities like Cape Town, Rio de Janeiro and La Paz where the geography dominates.
Great video! I love the video quality and presentation. I've thought about checking out Monterrey. I live in hot Dallas so it would definitely be in the winter!
Great video. The last time I visited Monterrey was with my parents 54 years ago. I will be there next month. It has really changed alot. I will visit some
of the places that you presented in the video.
Monterrey is very nice thanks for such a nice quality video👏👏
I would also be interested in seeing the neighborhoods.
Monterrey is near the top of my list of places to visit in Mexico... incredible mix of historic and ultra modern! and of course surrounded by amazing geography!
If you dare to visit Monterrey, I recommend you not to go out at night far from the center of the city, beyond the center there is a little more crime
I tell you that I live in Monterrey for 5 years
Thank you for the great video.... very nice drone footage...I'm glad you uploaded in 4K. Keep up the good work.
Watching this video from San Antonio, Texas. Love it. I haven’t been to Monterrey since 2000. I was gonna ask for vegan options, and then you did it in this video 😀.
Love your Videos !!!!...thanks for that Impressive drone images !!!
Great video, beautiful scenery and city
I will be visiting in June! I am so excited and thank you for this video
Fabulous video, thank you!
Now is the second most important city in Mexico bro, anyway amazing video, great job 👏
Great video - thank you!

Excelente video my friend 👌✌
This is one of the best videos I seen on Monterrey. You have great skills editing and using your drone.
Thank you Ana ❤️
Amazing video!!! Thank you so much for this! 🙌
Great video Israel, excellent quality! Keep it up with videos like this and I think you'll be a very successful youtuber.
Thank you John!
The last time I was in Monterrey was almost 14 years ago, as a kid we used to go almost every month to the Macroplaza and we used to go eat at a restaurant named Josephinos, I hope it’s still there so one day we can go back, now we live in the US, life is very different now but that’s life, thank you for making me remember those beautiful memories💯
For sure my go to travel vlogger another great video
Great video 👍🏻 I just think you did not cover paseo Santa Lucía, and also some more local food places, but the video quality is outstanding
Israel- very nice vid. Great music and you captured the city very well. The best on TH-cam. You have a follower!
Thank you 😉
I love Monterrey.. and your video manages to capture the modernity and beauty of that city, including its metropolitan area, in addition to your inevitable culinary options... that made my mouth water...🤤
Thank you Marco 😉 saludos!
@@IsraelPlata saludos Israel..😉
Es hermosa la ciudad el crecimiento que tiene impresionante algún día visitaré
Soy de monterrey y ya se estan viendo varios youtubers hacer canales sobre de vistas de monterrey donde salen montañas con edificios... Y esque estan haciendo bastantes edificios al mismo tiempo, Sino me equivoco alrededor de 10-15 rascacielos (mayores de 150metros de alturas) Uno que se llama torre rise tendra alrededor de 460 metros.
Y como 20-30 edificios menores a 150 metros...
Great work Israel
My family comes from Los Herreras,NL
Great video!
Very nice video! The dron took amazing videos and you visited some of the most important places here. Just a comment, "Puente La Unidad" is the real and official name for the Puente Atirantado, which is just the popular naming the local people use to refer to it.
Love your videos!
Nice video as always
Excellent video. Looks like such a beautiful city. I have only been to Baja California and Jalisco in MX, but there is so much more to explore in your country. Hello from Arizona
Disfrute tu video..... mi día a día transcurre aquí en MTY...... todo el video me gusto. saludos......
Santa Fe in CDMX is a good comparison, so too is the Vitacura/Las Condes area of Santiago de Chile (especially with the dramatic mountain backdrop and super tall buildings). Excellent video, my friend! Much appreciated!
1:42 Monterrey is the second largest metropolitan area by extension and by population. You can find the data in the oficial census of 2020.
Thank you for clearing that out. Guadalajara was always the second biggest city so I got confused 😅
@@IsraelPlataWAS..
Love your videos. Going to Bogota tomorrow because of your videos.
Top notch quality, respect
Lots of helpful information in this video, great host too.
Thanks for your video!
Thank you for your support 😃
Me subscribi carnal! I live in Chicago and since I dont have enough income to go its very good to atleast see through your videos! SALUDOS!
I'd love to visit Monterrey; I'm always drawn to cities that may not be very popular tourist destinations but offer so much to do and see.
I am a Mty citizen and you are very welcome, my friend. Monterrey is your house too. 🤠
@@JorgeSchz2004 gracias, muy amable.
Excelente !!!! La información esta muy bien para los que queremos visitar!!!! Pero ni nos atrevemos por el miedo a lo desconocido!!!! Y la inseguridad. Pero tu video nos motivaron a visitar Mongomery 👋✅👍🏼Gracias
Momgomery???
You make the best videos bro. Do you have a Tulum one?
Awesome city!!
That place is gorgeous! 😍
I've never heard of this city to be a vacation destination, but a co-worker is there currently so I needed to see why they'd go there vs a beach area that is more commonly chosen. I have to say the natural and manmade landscape is just remarkable! The pricing of things just has me 🤯! That chocolate strawberry muffin that was 1.60 US$ would most likely be $8-$12 (depending on where in the US you are buying it). And $42.00 US per night for that Airbnb would be well over $100 a night in a US location.
I'm from Mty and it's true, Monterrey is not a vacation destination, this is an industrial/bussines city, but also since 2015 it started to become more popular, just like Mexico City, Guadalajara or Cancun.
Excelente video de mi San Pedro y mi Monterrey hermosos.
Your videos are so beautiful. The quality is amazing.
What camera do you use?
Hello Charlie. All the equipment I use is listed in the description box with links to buy them on Amazon
I never heard of this city,gorgeous, beautiful❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Que interesante video
Monterrey, Mexico City, Cancun, Acapulco, Guadalajara, and Quintana Roo are my favourite cities in Mexico 🇲🇽. Hopefully I should visit them soon ASAP.
Dude. I don’t know what kind of drone and camera you have set up but damn. I just set up my 105 inch projector and it’s like looking into a window out over Monterrey the shots are so clean.
Thank you ☺️
Es verdad ZM Monterrey es muy de usar autos pero eso cambiara ya que se duplicara la linea de metro y se hara un tren suburbano que pasara por toda la ciudad asi que eso ayudara mucho.
Que bueno que te gusto venir a Monterrey ❤️
What camera do you use to film your trips? Your content is absolutely gorgeous. I want to start traveling and taking videos so I can look back at them in the future.
Thank you 🙂 I use a DJI Mini 2 Drone, a Canon EOS T6i and an iPhone 13 Pro Max
Wow, this city looks amazing
I love your videos very much, and for several reasons. I must say your video did not showcase the various attractions Monterrey has to offer. Monterrey has many options for people to enjoy.
Regards from Texas
I visited when I was very young! y tengo familia there, so I would like to visit now as an adult and check out the sites and the street tacos. Que rico!!!
As an American, Monterrey reminds me of Las Vegas, Nevada. No old culture, just modern builds to impress the current year.
In fact, many mexicans and people fron other places says that Monterrey is "americanized". I see why.
No, it’s the Los Ángeles of Mexico
@@longlivepink1 or the Houston of Mexico :)
@@MonterreyLiving Definitely Monterrey is like the Houston of Mexico.
@@JorgeSchz2004 100%!!
Yo my dude love ya intro ya game tight
Very impressive! I want to visit Monterey now
You're welcome, friend ✌🏻
Very well done. Makes me want to live there.
You're welcome, my friend, Monterrey is your house too.
What a beautiful city! I love the mountains and architecture- very artisitc and looks like esthetics are prioritized. Looks clean too. Thank you for such an excellent images. Ive just subscribed as well 😊 One question for you or your other viewers, is Monterrey safe for solo female travelers? Im 55 so not in to bars or clubbing. More in to seeing the sights and museums etc. Appreciate any thoughts. Gracias!
Thank you 🙂 yes it’s safe. Specially if you are in San Pedro and Del Valle areas. If you go to the center make sure you go during the day and not at night. I always felt safe in Monterrey 😎
@@IsraelPlata Thank you! Honestly, I sent the video to friends and family - what a beautiful and clean city.
Amazing
Best video to understand the city, absolutely great but for people that want to understand the lifestyle I would recommend watching domingueros video, he shows how “rich kids” how to party and to the clubs which are great here
THE best Moment to visit monterrey is October
My mother's side of the family is from Monterrey Nuevo Leon, Mexico
That's cool. You are welcome to Monterrey, broh 🤠
Wow! Me gustaria conocer esa bella ciudad y encontrar alguna Iglesia Adventista alli!!! Saludos desde Toronto!!!
Nice 👌

I’ve seen more of Monterrey in this video than others. Big beautiful city! Ive been visiting Tijuana a lot of times in the past year and it has more cons than pros. I’ll probably visit Monterrey next time I go on vacation. Does Monterrey have a red light district too just like Tijuana?
We don't have a red light district in Monterrey, there are areas where you can find strip clubs in the downtown but it's so dangerous to go, it's not recommended. If you are looking for clubs or bars we have plenty in Barrio Antiguo, Centrito Valle or Tec Zone.
@@osmaraguilar5501 Well not anymore, right?! Whatever happened to Club 45 or the Red Light Ghost Town? I’ve been to Tijuana’s red light district many times which is supposed to be the most dangerous part of town. Many strip clubs even around the United States are dangerous too so I’m not that concerned. Just gotta be careful.
@@derekbuxton6626 There are many strip clubs in the Downtown of Monterrey, for both, straight and homosexual people, also we have bars, restaurant bars, discotecs and etc. Most of them are in the downtown but there are many more arround the city.
Amazing Monterrey city.
I'm from south Texas and I have some family from Monterrey but have never gotten to visit. I want to go one day! I'm curious about how it contrasts to a city like San Antonio or the valley. All have a similar climate I think.
Incredible!
Monterrey city is going to explode in growth because of the new Tesla Gigafactory being constructed nearby Monterrey. They just started construction March 6th 2024.
I grew up here and it was very nice, here in the U.S. the schools are very different and there no high end vibes
That's crazy, I'm 24 and never new monterrey looked like this 😮 😮😮
Monterrey is love... Take me back
Amiga necesitamos hacer un viaje a Monterrey
Siiii pero mejor ven a CDMX a visitarme 🎉 I miss you
Arriba nuevo leon carajo🇲🇽🔥
Makes me want to visit.
Very nice city. Although I am the kind of person That appreciate the colonial downtown vibe. Certainly, I would love to visit Monterrey.
It's interesting....as more and more cities in the U.S. fall into disrepair with trash and huge homeless encampments I've not seen this anywhere in Mexico except the border towns. Perhaps it would be interesting if you did a video on homelessness and poverty in Mexico?
Hi, I'm from Monterrey, we have a lot of homeless, if you go to the downtown you will see them. In fact, the downtown is not the best place in Monterey... If you have money go to San Pedro Area.
There are homeless but not so much as other cities
@@TheDarkSideOfYouSoul There’s homeless but not as much as in the US
@@NoNamePerson98 always depends of the city, and population density, here in Monterrey we are like 7,000,000 it's a big city, the third largest city in Mexico, but, isn't as big as the third largest city en U.S.
If you walk around Monterrey Centro, the downtown, you can see a lot of homeless, specially in Juarez, cuauhtémoc and Pino Suárez avenue, even in below the bridges they have some camps, with electricity.
I work in the downtown, and I can count at least 30 homeless just in the streets around the office. But certainly, I don't know if that is a lot for U.S. standard, but sure is a lot for Mexico.
@@TheDarkSideOfYouSoul Zona Metropolitana de Monterrey, último censo de población: 5,341,171 habitantes.
I will go there next month for work and will possibly stay for two months. What weather can I expect on September - November? Is it cold? Do I need thick jackets?
Maybe, because between september and november the weather turns fresh and colder, so, maybe you will need them. January is the coldest month in Monterrey.
woooow 😮
Any links to the Airbnb that you rented? Thank you!
I need to move there!!!
