Government Palace Museum
The Government Palace Museum is the seat of the Nuevo León state government. Visitors can enter the building to view its architecture and explore the history of the region's administration. It provides a look at the city's older character within the modern administrative center of Monterrey.
Getting There
The palace is located in the heart of the city center. Since it is situated within the central administrative district, it is accessible by foot from most downtown hotels and main plazas. A walk from the central core typically takes only a few minutes.
Visit Duration
Depending on your interest in the architectural details and historical exhibits, allow approximately one to two hours to walk through the premises.
When to Visit
