About Montevideo

Montevideo the capital of Uruguay, is located on the Rio de la Plata on the southern most tip of the country's South Atlantic coast. It is a modern metropolis of a million and a half inhabitants and the city is the seat of important national and international events.

The main attractions are the ramblas (boulevards) that follow the beautiful and lengthy shoreline which are, without a doubt, one of the finest luxuries of the city. Montevideo's European influence is evident, as it stretches along avenues, boulevards and tree-lined streets on which modern buildings are being erected alongside buildings of days long past, a testimony to the different periods of the city's history.

Visitors should be sure to go to Ordonez Park to see the rose garden and the La Carreta monument. Other sites include: the Spanish fort which provides a spectacular views of the city from its hilltop location; the National Museum of Fine Arts; the Legislative Palace; the Plaza Constitucion/Indenpendencia; Museum of Natural History; and the local beaches of Ramirez, Malvin, and Pocitos.
