Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of Montevideo! Begin your adventure with a brief transfer to Independence Square, where your guided walking tour kicks off. Marvel at the historic Presidential Palace, the iconic Salvo Palace, and the majestic monument to Uruguay’s national hero, José Artigas.
Next, see the grandeur of the Solis Theatre, a cultural gem dating back to 1842, recently restored to its former splendor. Immerse yourself in Montevideo’s vibrant artistic scene before heading to Constitution Square. Here, you can explore the lively flea market and admire the beautifully preserved Spanish colonial architecture, including the Cabildo and the Montevideo Cathedral.
Continue your exploration at Plaza Zabala, the only fenced square in the city, featuring a monument to Montevideo’s founder, Bruno Mauricio de Zabala. A visit to the Museum of the Gaucho and Currency reflects the history of monetary evolution and the life of the gaucho in Uruguay.
As you wander through the charming streets, treat your taste buds to traditional Uruguayan street food. Savor the flavors of "choripan" (sausage on bread with seasonings), classic empanadas, and the delightful chocolate alfajor filled with dulce de leche.
Before concluding your tour, take a stroll through the bustling Port Market, a perfect spot to soak in the local atmosphere.
