Bus from Monterrey to Mexico City

The Monterrey to Mexico City bus connects Mexico's industrial northern powerhouse with the national capital on a roughly 10-to-11-hour journey of about 900 kilometres. It's a heavily travelled corridor for business travellers, families and overland tourists moving between the mountain-ringed city of Monterrey and the museums, monuments and connections of the capital. The route runs south across the high plateaus of the altiplano, passing colonial cities like San Luis Potosí. Spring Bus connects travellers to the major operators on this busy corridor, so you can compare departure times and comfort tiers and book the seat that suits you.

This route is exceptionally well-served: ETN runs a luxury service with extra-wide seats and generous legroom, while ADO and Ómnibus de México offer reliable first-class options, all with air-conditioning, reclining seats and onboard restrooms. Frequent departures span the day and night, making overnight travel easy. Buses generally arrive at the Terminal Central del Norte in northern Mexico City, connected to the Metro for onward travel. With so many daily services you'll usually find a convenient departure, though booking ahead secures the best seats and fares around holidays.
