This historic section of town takes you back to the 17th and 18th centuries, with an array of interesting museums, an historic lighthouse and Uruguay’s oldest church.

While in Buenos Aires, Argentina, my wife and I took the ferry over to Uruguay and spent a beautiful February 2020 day exploring this gorgeous historical neighborhood. From the lovely cobblestones, to the various historic sites such as the lighthouse and convent ruins, to the cannons, there is much to see during a day trip to Colonia del Sacramento. There is also a lot of fascinating history to learn while exploring Barrio Historico.

We had two days in Montevideo. On day one, we explored the old town and markets and on day two, we cycled here for lunch and to visit the Montevideo sign at the eastern end of the beach.

This “Old City” by the harbor retains remnants of the past, like iron gates and colonial street lamps, and, with antique shops, museums and cafes, it’s a great place for browsing.

Beautiful atmospheric old town: sunny skies, pedestrianised malls, street vendors, old buildings, the sea, graffiti, the smell of marijuana and lots of leafy plazas. Felt safe.

A really small part of Colonia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beautiful, unique and not overly touristic. We had a three hour stopover on the way from Buenos Aires to Montivideo. This is good enough to walk all the old part of town and have lunch until you continue. When you be in this regions anyway, you woudl regret tp have missed to see this. Climb up the lighthouse to see it from the top - GREAT VIEW.
