Uruguay's Absolute Essentials

Uruguay’s highlights span the historic streets of Colonia del Sacramento, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its fusion of Portuguese and Spanish colonial architecture, to the architectural landmarks of Montevideo like the 19th-century Solís Theatre and the monumental Legislative Palace. In Punta del Este, the coastal landscape is defined by the iconic Hand sculpture and Carlos Páez Vilaró’s Casapueblo. The capital is anchored by the bustling Port Market and the Rambla, an extensive waterfront promenade spanning the city's coastline.
