Montevideo is the gem of Uruguay’s culture and nightlife. The largest city in the country, it boasts the perfect seaside location for summer getaways, and gorgeous coastal conditions in the winter. Eclectic by nature and diverse to a fault, Uruguay’s blend of people, music, language, and cuisine drive it to be one of South America’s most rocking locales.
Known mostly for its heavily used industrial port, Montevideo was once used as a fortress for the Spanish Empire until the 181th century. Montevideo is home to half the country’s population, and for good reason.
