Montevideo is the largest city in Uruguay, a small country that has a lot to talk about and has great tourist destinations. The historic past and the quality of life are great attributes of the Uruguayan capital, which differs from countless other cities in South America, starting with traffic education and street cleaning.

Tree-lined and peaceful, the Uruguayan capital is perfect for walking. Whether taking a walk to sunbathe on the Rambla - the coastal avenue - while watching the movement of the water in the Rio de la Plata (which looks a lot like the sea, it's true!), or a walk through the historic center, the feeling of being on a remarkable city, where the ancient and the modern go hand in hand, is ubiquitous.

Plaza Independencia, the starting point of any tour of downtown, is simply a must-see. Walk without fear and let yourself be enchanted by the ancient architecture of Ciudad Vieja - take lots of pictures at the Teatro Solís and at the Puerta de la Ciudadela, a gateway left over from the colonial era, when the city still had a protective wall. Walk along 18 de Julho, looking at old buildings and sumptuous trees, feeling the lively atmosphere of the city.

To see the sights of Montevideo, walking through the center and its old town is a must. In this area are concentrated the most important buildings of the Uruguayan capital, which mixes the historical past with the charm of small streets to tell the world what he lived.

Start your tour at Praça da Independência and walk towards the old town through the Porta da Cidadela, a remnant of the wall that protected Montevideo in the past. Take a stretch to the Solís Theater, the most important in the city, and take a guided tour of the place to know all its details. Continue the walking tour along Sarandí Street, full of street vendors and shops, and take lots of pictures in the beautiful Praça Matriz. Head to the Porto Market - the best place to eat meat - and enjoy the typical Uruguayan flavor.

In addition to the center, visit Parque Rodó, one of the most famous in the city, and enjoy the view of the Rambla, the avenue that borders the Rio de la Plata. Walking is a delicious way to discover the Uruguayan capital, getting to know all its secrets up close.

As in other tourist destinations, choosing a hotel and an area to stay is a topic that needs to be carefully considered. It will not always be possible to define "the best place" to stay, and this is the case with Montevideo.

When planning a trip to the city, it is necessary to analyze, basically, two accommodation areas, which are the main hotel poles: the center and the waterfront. The center is an area full of shops and offices, with cheaper hotels, as well as being home to the city's main tourist attractions. It's perfect for business travelers, but it leaves a bit to be desired at night, as shops are closed and the streets are more empty. When opting for accommodation in this area, choose hotels close to the Solís Theater and Plaza Independencia.

The waterfront, whose main neighborhoods are Punta Carretas and Pocitos, is a more residential and tidy area, with good bars and restaurants, great for easy access to the beautiful view of the Rambla. In Punta Carretas, the best area to stay is in the vicinity of the eponymous mall, due to the good structure of the region. In Pocitos, an excellent neighborhood to enjoy the night, there are great hotels close to the waterfront and local shops.

The most famous tourist attractions are not in Punta Carretas or Pocitos, so it will be inevitable to go downtown sometimes, a fact that is not worth worrying about, since taxis in Montevideo are cheap. The capital's waterfront is charming; therefore, an area that we highly recommend to stay in!

Have fun!
