Montevideo Transfers, Taxis & Shuttles

Montevideo

Montevideo is the largest city, the capital, and the chief port of Uruguay

See:
Ciudad Vieja — Montevideos Old Town. Enter through the portal called Puerta de la Ciudadela.

Plaza de Independecia — The square at the end of 18 de Julio Ave., with the latter being the main commercial artery of the city.

Palacio Salvo — Next to Plaza Independencia. Once South Americas highest building, the Palacio Salvo still dominates Montevideos skyline. You can take an elevator to the top at no cost for an excellent view of the city.

Mausoleo de Artigas — This large monument in the Plaza de Independencia pays tribute to José Gervasio Artigas, one of the heroes of the Uruguayan Independence.

National History Museum — Spread between five old historic houses, holds important bits of the countrys history. No entrance fee.

Do:
The Rambla — This waterside roadway has people biking, fishing, drinking mate, and enjoying the great views. 22 kilometers-long (13.6 miles), the Rambla goes along Montevideos waterfront. Lovely at sunset.

La Feria Tristán Narvaja Flea Market — Spend part of Sunday morning with the locals on Tristán Narvaja Street, where vendors sell everything from t-shirts to antiques to kitchen supplies. Its right off of 18 de Julio Ave. and the entrance is often marked by people selling puppies.

Pocitos — This barrio lies about 2 miles south-east of El Centro. The Pocitos beach runs east from Punta Trouville for about a mile. Highrise apartments ring the beach along the Rambla, but going in-land a few blocks brings you into an older neighborhood reminiscent of San Franciscos Marina district. Head uphill on 21 de septiembre St. from the Rambla at Punta Trouville for about 7 or 8 blocks to avenue Ellauri, turn left and walk another 4 blocks to Punta Carretas Shopping, a major shopping mall that is built on the remains of a prison (they preserved the prison gate inside the mall).
