Plaza Independencia

This prominent plaza divides the old from the new Uruguay, and is surrounded by an interesting array of architectural styles. It also contains a statue of General Artigas, considered the father of Uruguay.

Reviewed By WorldTravelers34 - Chicago, United States

The Plaza Independencia is the most important square in Montevideo, connecting the Ciudad Vieja and the city’s downtown. Several of the city’s most famous landmarks are located here, including the Palacio Salvo and the Teatro Solís. This is a must place to visit for anyone touring Montevideo. Other notable structures surrounding the plaza include the stone gateway Puerta de la Ciudadela, a lonely remnant of the colonial citadel demolished in 1833; the 19th-century Palacio Estévez; and the 26-story Palacio Salvo, the continent’s tallest building when it opened in 1927, and still a classic Montevideo landmark.

The South American cowboy, or “gaucho” is the focus of one collection at this museum, and the other depicts the history of Uruguay’s currency.

This museum is a must on your montevideo museum list! Shows you and displays a very beautiful range of items referred to the legendary image of the "gaucho" and the countryside life in early uruguayan years. Shows you different types of coins and currency from past eras and even the museum workers have a great attitude and make some fun activities!

Rambla de Montevideo

Reviewed By leonelr2

Over the Paraná Guazu or "river as wide as the sea" in guaraní language, as the Rio de la Plata is locally known, the shore is a symbol of the quiet lifestile of the local "Montevideanos". It extends for 18 km from the "Ciudad Vieja" (old town of the colonial times) with a series of beaches till the fancy neighbourhood of "Carrasco". Getting a bike for a ride (on the sidewalk) is a must. Great for running or just for a relaxing walk as well. Good for all ages. Where to start? Ok, Pocitos beach is a good option, either going West (direction downtown) or East (direction Carrasco). Other recommended beach to try, Playa Verde, or Punta Gorda Point from you can have a nice view of the sunset and the city.

They should have better signals to get there, but if you can make it to take the elevator -the glass walls one, at the back of the building, but ask for directions at the main entrance, "informes" (information) desk.
