Montevideo
Montevideo is the capital and largest city of Uruguay, sitting right on the shore of the Rio de la Plata. It is known for its long seaside walkway called the Rambla, which stretches for many miles.
People love strolling the Rambla, visiting the old town, and sipping mate in leafy parks. The city mixes friendly neighborhoods, sandy beaches, and grand old buildings all in one place.
The endless Rambla
The Rambla is a long path along the water where people walk, bike, fish, and roller skate. On sunny days it fills with families flying kites and sharing mate.
The old city and markets
The Ciudad Vieja has grand old plazas and a covered market full of grills sizzling with food. It is a fun place to see street musicians and colorful buildings.
City beaches
Montevideo has real sandy beaches right inside the city, like Pocitos and Ramirez. You can build sandcastles in the morning and still be back for dinner in town.
