Montevideo Uruguay Travel Guide • Montevideo is the pleasant capital city of Uruguay, a country in South America. It is situated on the east bank of the Rio de la Plata and is the southernmost capital city in South America. It revolves around the Plaza de la Independencia, once home to a Spanish citadel. This plaza leads to Ciudad Vieja (the old town), with art deco buildings, colonial homes and landmarks including the towering Palacio Salvo and neoclassical performance hall Solís Theatre. Mercado del Puerto is an old port market filled with many steakhouses. • Montevideo was founded in 1724. For much of its early history, the city consisted of what is now known as the Ciudad Vieja (Old Town). By the mid-19th century the city began to grow eastward towards what is now known as Centro. The demolition of the old fort that used to mark the eastern boundary of Old Town enabled the construction of what is now Plaza Independencia. Eventually Boulevard Artigas was built around Centro, but by 1910, suburbs were already developing beyond it which were later annexed into the growing city. • The nation’s capital and home to nearly half of Uruguay’s population, Montevideo is a vibrant, eclectic place with a rich cultural life. Stretching 20km from east to west, the city wears many faces, from its industrial port to the exclusive beachside suburb of Carrasco near the airport. In the historic downtown business district, art deco and neoclassical buildings jostle for space alongside grimy, worn-out skyscrapers that appear airlifted from Havana or Ceauşescu’s Romania, while to the southeast the shopping malls and modern high-rises of beach communities such as Punta Carretas and Pocitos bear more resemblance to those of Miami or Copacabana. Music, theater and the arts are alive and well here – from elegant older theaters and cozy little tango bars to modern beachfront discos – and there’s a strong international flavor, thanks to the many foreign cultural centers and Montevideo’s status as administrative headquarters for Mercosur, South America’s leading trading bloc. • Montevideo is not a large city and it boasts a very efficient public transportation system so getting around is not difficult at all. If you are not bashful about your Spanish, feel free to ask people which bus route you need to take to get to your destination as it can be the most effective and cheap option. The Rambla is a waterside roadway has people biking, fishing, drinking mate, and enjoying the great views. Spend part of Sunday morning with the locals on La Feria Tristán Narvaja Flea Market. Pocitos barrio lies about 2 miles south-east of El Centro. The Pocitos beach runs east from Punta Trouville for about a mile. • A lot to see in Montevideo such as : • Plaza Independencia • Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo • Pocitos • Palacio Salvo • Solís Theatre • Parque Rodó • Palacio Legislativo • Mercado Del Puerto • Pittamiglio Castle • Juan Manuel Blanes Museum • Plaza Matriz • Museo del Gaucho and Currency - Palacio Heber Jackson • Fortress General Artigas • Bodega Bouza • De los Pocitos Beach • Tres Cruces • Feria de Tristán Narvaja • Andes Museum 1972 • Museo Torres García • National Museum of Visual Arts • Montevideo sign • Plaza Fabini • Palacio Taranco • Museo del Carnaval • Barrio Sur, Montevideo • Parque Lecocq • Doctor Tristán Narvaja • Centro, Montevideo • Peatonal Sarandí • Telecommunications Tower • Montevideo Cabildo • Jardín Botánico • Playa Ramirez • Japanese Garden, Montevideo • Artigas Mausoleum • Plaza de Cagancha • Playa Malvin • Las Carmelitas • Estévez Palace • Locks Fountain • Puerta de la Ciudadela • Punta Brava Lighthouse • Pre-Columbian and Indigenous Art Museum • Museo de Historia del Arte • Plaza Zabala • Zoológico Villa Dolores • Palermo, Montevideo • National Library of Uruguay • Plaza Virgilio • Contemporary Art Space • ( Montevideo - Uruguay ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Montevideo .
