Activity itinerary

Peatonal Sarandi

  • 20m
Our tour starts in Sarandi pedestrian street. In this first instance, we will begin sharing fun facts about Uruguay, and start getting to know 'Ciudad Vieja/ Old city' area, which used to originally be an enclosed citadel constructed by the Spanish people to resist military attacks from the Portuguese. We also highlight points of interest such as 'Museo del Carnaval' and 'Mercado del Puerto'.

Plaza Zabala

  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
Built in honour of the founder of the city, Zabala's square is a beautiful green area located in front of the 'Taranco Palace' (museum of decorative arts) where we will learn more about the origins of Montevideo and the colonial footprint that still shows itself nowadays.

Plaza Matriz

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
This square used to be the centre of everyday life in the 1800s. With its recognisable Spanish style, we will visit the cathedral of San Felipe y Santiago, the Cabildo museum (which used to be the administrative and justice headquarters back in the day), and enjoy the handcrafts fair that draws the attention of many tourists with its antiques and traditional Uruguayan items.

Plaza Independencia

  • 30m
Plaza Independencia is the most important square of Uruguay's capital. It marks the limit between the historic area and the city centre area of the city. With many relevant buildings to highlight and visit, this square bears the remains of our biggest patriotic figure - José Gervasio Artigas - in its underground mausoleum, as well as showcases the emblematic 'Gate of the Citadel' monument, which makes it the perfect spot for postcard looking pictures and photographs.

Theatre Solis

  • 10m
While learning about Independance Square, we will also get dazzled by Solis' theatre architecture, which is the oldest theather in latin america.

Palacio Legislativo

  • 30m
With its impeccable neoclassical architecture, this 100 year old building is where the chamber of senators and deputies pass and create new laws in the country. Nearby we can also make a stop at the Agricultural's Market, where we can buy some typical uruguayan snacks such as empanadas, alfajores or dulce de leche.

Obelisco a los Constituyentes (Pass by)

This 131 feet/ 40 metres high monument, really similar to the one in Buenos Aires, the Obelisc marks the beginning of the main avenue of Montevideo - 18 de julio.

Parque Batlle

  • 20m
At this point of our route, we will be able to appreciate the biggest green area of ​​the city. Batlle Park was named after one of our most renowned presidents, and here we will see the velodrome (where carnival celebrations take place), as well as the 'Carreta/ Wagon' sculpture, symbol of Uruguay's agricultural lifestyle.

Estadio Centenario

  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
Declared by FIFA as the only monument of world football, this stadium hosted the first ever World Cup in 1930 where Uruguay became victorious and kept the cup home.

Montevideo Sign

  • 15m
This is the 'must visit' part of our itinerary. The Montevideo sign has an unforgettable view of the coast, and here we will help you capture your stay with us by taking the best pictures to take home.

Rambla de Montevideo (Pass by)

At this point of our tour, we will enjoy the shore breeze of De La Plata river, and drive by the longest promenade in the world. With 24km/15 miles of continuous coastline while headed east for our next stop, we will be able to see people sharing a traditional uruguayan 'Mate' (typical hot drink), people jogging and families spending time together at the beach.

Carrasco

  • 1h
It is now time to try a traditional meal, with many restaurant options to choose from in the Arocena street, we suggest trying the famous 'Chivito', or the uruguayan asado; and the best place to do so is the Carrasco area, where we will pass by the most luxurious residences in the eastern side of Montevideo.

Mirador Panoramico de Montevideo

  • 20m
The cherry of the pie will be finishing this tour while getting the full picture of Montevideo from above. We will visit the city hall's view point, where you we will be able to recognise the spots we previously visited with informative brochures and binoculars.
