Water71, safety is subjective but I never felt at risk traveling to Monterrey. You can cross easily using the pedestrian bridge in McAllen or Laredo and catch a bus for $15-25. The bus terminal in downtown Monterrey is ground zero for brothels, strip clubs and massage parlors all within a one mile radius. I walk everywhere there, day and night,but occasionally resort to Uber for distances over a mile or on hot summer days. Everything is cheap there, even the Uber rides are $3-5. If you read my many posts in the Monterrey forum, you will find recommendations for everything from girls, to clubs to hotels. I made five trips last year so there are plenty of reviews. Bottom line, for Texans, Monterrey is a whoremongers paradise.
