Nuevo León state capital at 540m elevation — Mexico's industrial-and-financial powerhouse (FEMSA, Cemex, Banorte all HQ here) and the country's richest metro by per-capita GDP. San Pedro Garza García (the wealthy western suburb), Centro, and Barrio Antiguo are the typical neighborhoods. Same Mexico 180-day FMM tourist permit as CDMX. The structural draws are US-business-adjacent infrastructure, the Sierra Madre Oriental immediately west (Chipinque + Huasteca hiking), and a deep Norteño cultural-and-food scene. Cartel-security concerns have decreased significantly since 2015 but check current advisories.
