Its relaxed atmosphere, scenic river views, and quaint cafes create an inviting environment for travelers looking to experience authentic Uruguayan culture away from the bustle of larger cities.

Travel Tips

The best time to visit is spring or fall for pleasant weather. Pack comfortable walking shoes for cobblestone streets and a light jacket for cooler evenings. Respect local customs such as greeting with a handshake or kiss on the cheek. Stay aware of your belongings in crowded areas. Cash is widely used, but credit cards are accepted in many places. ATMs are available but not everywhere.
