Montevideo
"The City of Beaches"

Plaza Independencia & Palacio Salvo

The city's tallest building and a neo-gothic gem, Palacio Salvo presides over Plaza Independencia, the heart of Montevideo's Ciudad Vieja (old city). This broad square is dominated by a huge statue of José Artigas, Uruguay's greatest hero.

Mercado del Puerto

Mercado del Puerto, dating from 1868, is a meat-lovers paradise full of parrillas (steakhouses) and tasty charcoal grills of meats and sausages. There are also seafood restaurants, handcraft shops and strolling musicians and artists.

Punta del Este

Punta del Este is one of South America's most glamorous and exclusive resort destinations. Enjoy its excellent beaches, decadent pleasures and the surreal sculpture house Casapueblo, by famous artist Carlos Peaz Vilaro.

Hotel Casino Carrasco

Hotel Casino Carrasco is a truly beautiful hotel and casino, located in the heart of Montevideo, only 30 minutes from downtown, steps away from the beach and breathtaking ocean-front views. A must-see on any visit to Montevideo.

Teatro Solìs

Teatro Solìs, the oldest great opera house in the Americas, opened in 1856. This neo-classic wonder of national pride features superb acoustics and a full schedule of top events that includes operas, concerts, ballet and theatre.

Montevideo is the capital, largest city, and chief port of Uruguay. The city was strongly influenced by European culture and contains many monuments, museums, historic buildings and squares. The Ciudad Vieja (old city) is located in the city-centre and gives visitors a peek into the city’s colonial past. Situated on the River Plate, Montevideo has a privileged harbor, and many beautiful beaches such as: Pocitos, Buceo, Malvin, Playa de los Ingleses, Playa Verde, Punta Gorda and Carrasco. Beach resorts such as Punta del Este and Piriápolis are recognized as some of the best in the world. Punte Del Este is a famous tourist destination and Uruguay's answer to Monte Carlo with chic restaurants, clubs, pristine beaches, yacht racing and polo.
