What to do in Monterrey when it rains

A wet day in Monterrey is no write-off: spend it among the museums and galleries, browse an indoor market, or linger over coffee somewhere cosy.

Museums

Spend a few hours in the city's museums — many are free, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to take your time.

Art galleries

Duck into the art galleries; they're quiet, warm and rarely busier than on a wet day.

Historic sites

Explore the indoor historic sites and their covered galleries.

Covered markets
