When you set foot in Colonia del Sacramento, the impression is that time has stopped. Colonia is a small town on the banks of the Rio de la Plata, an hour by boat from Buenos Aires and two by car from Montevideo. The place, strategically located, is perfect to leave problems aside and give way to a tranquility and rest that no capital is able to provide.

The tree-lined streets, the old cars and the charming restaurants are part of the daily life of those who are used to the simple, but unparalleled beauty of the small town. Walking in stone alleys looking at the rustic walls of old houses makes Cologne famous, which has simplicity as its most valuable asset.

The Uruguayan city was colonized by the Portuguese and at different times was in dispute with the Spaniards, who also contributed to the history of the place. The past of transitions has allowed a very picturesque architecture to develop and, with good conservation over the years, have transformed Cologne into one of the most visited destinations in our neighboring country.

To know the essentials, one day will be enough. However, Colonia del Sacramento is so charming that many people prefer to stay there and spend a few days enjoying its calm. Walk, rest, taste, take lots of pictures and fall in love with the Colony, which is not just in the name.

The best thing to do in Colonia del Sacramento is to walk through its historic center and enjoy the image of the quiet streets, which convey an undeniable feeling that time has stopped. Having lunch in one of the charming restaurants or having a coffee while looking out at the street is also one of the most delicious things that Colônia has to offer.

The most important (and interesting) part of getting to know is the center. Before starting the tour, go to the city gate, where you will see a tourist office nearby that offers maps for visitors, making it easier to find your way around.

Be sure to go to Plaza Mayor, walk along Calle de Los Suspiros and climb the city's lighthouse. Colonia is a very charming place, just walk through its historic streets and see an old car passing by for the city's fame to come true. If you have time to spare, take a taxi and head to Plaza de Toros!

At the end of the day, how about watching the sunset over Rio da Prata? It's a must! Walking through this region observing the simplicity of the architecture, the lamps, the shops and the view of the river is great. Cologne is the perfect place to renew your energy and rest.

Dining options in Colonia del Sacramento are not that many; after all, it is a small town. However, if there are not many alternatives, what is not lacking is charm. Sitting on the streets of the historic center and eating in one of the restaurants is a delight!

One of the great advantages of the city is that the price is not excessive. Even if you dine at the best restaurant in town, there's no reason to worry about unpleasant surprises on your bill. Anyone looking to save can eat on Av. General Flores, which has simpler and cheaper options.

A great restaurant in the city is Mesón de la Plaza, which, in addition to being very cozy, has great value for money. For coffee on cold days or ice cream on hot days, go to Freddo, the most famous ice cream shop in Buenos Aires.

The best area to stay is the one around the historic center, after all, it is the highlight of the city. Another advantage of being close to the center is that you will be able to know practically everything that is interesting just by walking. Being further away from the center can guarantee greater comfort, but it is necessary to consider whether it is worth staying at the mercy of transport.

There are several accommodation options in the city, most of them in small inns. We reinforce the tip of looking for accommodation in advance, especially during holidays and festive dates.

Have fun!
