Sit back and relax as you embark on a scenic drive through the vibrant city of Montevideo. Your journey begins with a stop outside the iconic Solis Theatre (exterior visit) and historic Independence Square. The latter is home to the impressive mausoleum of National Hero José Gervasio Artigas. Nearby, you’ll find the Government House and the bustling 18 de Julio Avenue, lined with charming shops, cozy cafés, and office buildings.
Marvel at the grandeur of the Congress Building, the true pride of Uruguay, showcasing 52 colors of local marble. An inside visit isn’t included, but the exterior alone is a noteworthy sight.
Next, explore the Mercado Agricola, a beautifully renovated market hall that now serves as a lively farmers’ market. Here, you can dive into Uruguay’s culinary traditions and mingle with the friendly locals.
Enhance your tour with a visit to El Milongón, where a warm welcome includes a glass of wine. Allow yourself to be dazzled by the captivating rhythms of a Candombe show, a traditional dance of African origin. Afterward, make the most of an opportunity to dance alongside the performers and capture some stunning photos.
