My suggestion
Missing Europe? Instead of your usual tortilla snack, check out a French bakery in the Andador district - its chocolate almonds are to die for!

One of the most beautiful colonial cities in Mexico
My suggestion
If your time is short, make sure you at least visit the Museum of Mayan Medicine.
Keen to discover the northern region of Mexico? The Nuevo León, as well as Coahuila are two regions housing cities to see, when going on a visit to the north of Mexico. In fact, Monterrey and Saltillo have several attractions.
The north and south are two different worlds, not only in terms of their landscape but also their economic structures. On this one strip of land fierce industrialization contrasts with a laid back tourist lifestyle.
I guarantee that hopping on the El Chepe train will be a unique adventure in the north-west of Mexico. As the kilometres go by, incredible landscapes will pass before your eyes, don't miss the train!
