5 Historic Sites in Montevideo That You Shouldn't Miss
Montevideo, a port city and the capital of Uruguay, is a perfect destination for travelers looking for a relaxing stroll past colonial era buildings and along beautiful beaches. The Ciudadela Gateway, the only remaining section of the wall that once surrounded the entire city, now serves as the entrance to Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo's oldest neighborhood. Home to churches, museums, and theaters, at night the area comes alive with nightclubs playing Tango and Candombe music for crowds of dancers.

I simply love the Avenida, and am drawn to it every time I visit Montevideo. Sure, maybe the “high-end” stores have left for snooty (boring) malls, but the street is still a retail hub of Montevideo that teams with activity and life every day. Weekdays are great when everything is open, but even on weekend when most shops are shuttered, you’ll find ample activity and people simply strolling and enjoying this beautiful city. The best part of the Avenida, however, are the wonderful plazas stung along its length that provide places to rest, people-watch, and enjoy some of the city’s most stunningly beautiful architecture. Have a bite at Bar Facal and grab a window seat, and watch the activity in the Avenida pass by. Don’t miss the tango dancing on weekends in Plaza Fabini. Great street!
