It costs you absolutely nothing except the energy to walk.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would recommend not taking the boats because the ride charges 70 pesos ($6.50) for 15 minutes seeing the exact same views you get walking beside the canal the entire route. Save that $6.50 and buy 3 street tacos from vendors lining the walkway instead.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Macroplaza itself spans 99 acres, one of the world&#8217;s largest public squares. The 70-meter Lighthouse of Commerce shoots green lasers every night at 8pm sharp. Budget 1 to 2 hours exploring both the plaza and canal walk together for one of the best free things to do in Monterrey during daylight hours. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weekday mornings between 9 am and 11 am work beautifully before crowds build and the heat intensifies. Many visitors consider Macroplaza among the <a href=\"https:\/\/travelarii.com\/blog\/trending-destinations\/famous-historical-landmarks-in-monterrey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">top historical landmarks in Monterrey<\/a>, as it connects civic spaces, museums, and cultural hubs across the city.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to avoid crowds, skip March 27 to 29 when Pa&#8217;l Norte takes over, and June FIFA weekends.
