Nuevo Laredo is a city in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. Its population is about 500,000.

It stands on the U.S.-Mexico border, connected to Laredo, Texas, across the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo) river by three international bridges. The city is larger than its U.S. counterpart, but is younger, having been established after the state of Texas broke away from Mexico. It is the largest inland port in Mexico, as is its counterpart across the border.

Most of the main area of Nuevo Laredo (between Cesar Lopez de Lara avenue, the Rio Grande, and south to Luis Donaldo Colosio Boulevard) is a landscaped, typical busy Mexican city with several gardens and plazas. There are many cybercafes throughout the city.

Tourist permits are not required if visiting Nuevo Laredo only. They are required if going further south (more than 15 miles). Tourist permits are good for six months usually. To purchase them it is neccesary to show either a passport, voter`s card or birth certificate (originals only). Travelers will pass the Mexican customs twice: at the bridge, and at the checkpoint 20 miles from the border.

If driving, at the bridge tourists might be asked to pull over for an inspection if they get a red light as they pass by (this is supposed to pick up people randomly for inspection). It is necessary to buy a tourist permit (about $20 US); there was a permit office right at the customs as you cross the bridge, on the right. Otherwise, go to the large complex *under* the old (downtown or number 1) bridge on Luis Donaldo Colosio Boulevard, right by the river. If crossing through the downtown bridge, take a left right where the customs end, drive for four blocks though a gloomy neighborhood, take another left and get on the far, far-right lane of Luis Donaldo Colosio Boulevard. This lane goes under the bridge, close to the river, to the permit complex.

American cars need to get a permit (window sticker) too, to be driven south of Nuevo Laredo. The car and car title must be shown to get this permit (at the same facility under the bridge, as described above), and the person`s whose name is on the title must be present. Car permits must be surrended also when leaving the country. Mexican authorities try hard to avoid American cars flooding the country, to keep alive car manufacturing in Mexico.
