How It Works

Free House, Guided City

You don't need a ticket for the Casa de las Conchas: it's a free public library. What you can book is a guide to explain it, and tickets for the paid monuments a few minutes away.

The monuments walk, the evening dark-history walk and the bike tour all pass the house of shells. The cathedral and Monterrey Palace tickets cover the two biggest sights next door.
