Bus from Mexico City to Monterrey

The Mexico City to Monterrey bus links the national capital with the industrial and business heart of northern Mexico on a roughly 10-to-11-hour journey of about 900 kilometres. It's a major corridor for business travellers, families and overland tourists heading north toward Monterrey's mountains, modern downtown and onward routes to the US border. The route climbs out of the Valley of Mexico and crosses the high altiplano, passing colonial cities such as San Luis Potosí. Spring Bus connects travellers to the leading operators on this busy route, helping you compare schedules and comfort tiers and reserve in advance.

Service on this corridor is excellent: ETN runs a luxury cabin with extra-wide seats and generous legroom, while ADO and Ómnibus de México provide dependable first-class options, all with air-conditioning, reclining seats and onboard restrooms. Departures run frequently day and night, so overnight travel is easy. Buses usually arrive at the Central de Autobuses de Monterrey north of the centre, with taxis and local transport into downtown and onward services to Saltillo and the US border. With many daily departures you'll find a convenient option, though booking ahead is wise around holidays.
