Montevideo Must-Sees

Montevideo’s urban layout centers on the historic Ciudad Vieja, anchored by the 19th-century Plaza Independencia and the Gateway of the Citadel. Architectural highlights include the neoclassical Solís Theatre, the towering Salvo Palace, and the monumental Legislative Palace. The city’s Atlantic identity is shaped by the extensive Rambla and the Punta Brava Lighthouse. Cultural life thrives within the Mercado del Puerto’s food stalls and along the pedestrian Sarandí street, while Rodó Park and the Metropolitan Cathedral offer spaces for recreation and reflection.
