Welcome To

Montevideo, Uruguay’s laid-back capital, is the perfect destination to stroll through botanical gardens, past colonial-era buildings, and along 15 miles of beachfront ramblas. Overlooked by many travelers for larger Buenos Aires (a short boat ride across the river), Montevideo offers a slower pace and what many visitors say is a friendlier welcome. Explore Cuidad Vieja, the oldest part of town currently in the midst of an economic revival, catch a show at the historic Solis Theater, or enjoy a soccer game at the iconic Estadio Centenario; a stadium built for the first World Cup in 1930 and recognized globally as a historical monument to the sport.
