Montevideo

Stretching 20km from east to west, the cosmopolitan city of Montevideo is home to nearly half of Uruguay’s population. Like other major international cities, Montevideo has a historic financial centre, bustling markets, a plethora of fine museums and an expanding expat community. The city boasts a fine waterfront with clean beaches and flashes of the Latin-American vibe from across the water in Buenos Aires. The eclectic architecture comprises a mix of colonial buildings, tired skyscrapers and beachfront high-rises. You’ll also find a flourishing cultural scene with theatres, music venues and tango bars jostling for space in the city’s side streets.
