Montevideo
About 1.3 million people.
Montevideo is the capital and biggest city of Uruguay, sitting right on the coast where the wide Rio de la Plata meets the sea. It is the country's heart for government, business, music, and soccer.
You can walk the long seaside path called the Rambla, explore the colorful Old City, and see the famous letters that spell MONTEVIDEO at the beach. Do not miss a snack at the busy Mercado del Puerto market.

The Ciudad Vieja is full of old buildings, plazas, street art, and cozy cafes where families love to wander.

Beaches
Sandy city beaches like Pocitos sit right next to the neighborhoods, so you can splash in the water and then grab ice cream.
