As it is a really relaxed city you should take it easy and enjoy the tranquility as best as possible!
--- Things to do in Montevideo ---
1) Ciudad Vieja
In the video I mentioned a free tour which takes place every friday to discover the old town. Anyway you can also do it on your own! The tourism office next to the town hall provides free maps with all POI and all sights are in walking distance close to each other.
2) City from above
At the tourism office you’re also able to get a free ticket for the terrace at the top of the town hall. Take the elevator and enjoy a great view over Montevideo!
3) Discover the architecture on a walk
You can find an interesting mix of architectural styles in Montevideo – discover them by walking around the innercity, where you’ll also stumble upon nice pieces of Streetart.
4) La Rambla de Montevideo
One of the best things about this city is the promenade along the river. You can find some nice spots along the 22km long “Rambla” to relax or for doing some workout.5
5) Chivito
Food should alway be part of a travel experience. Apart from BBQ/Asado like in the other countries around you can find a sandwich called “Chivito” – it’s the Deal in Uruguay and -of course- it comes with meat ;)

Bordering the laid-back Punta del Diablo is the marvelous Santa Teresa National Park which nature lovers will absolutely adore as it encompasses a diverse array of landscapes, ecosystems and fauna and flora.

A popular place to visit among Argentines and Uruguayans looking to head to the beach and bask in the rays, Punta del Diablo is a lovely place to visit and despite recent development projects still has the feel of a picturesque and charming little fishing village.
7. Carmelo
Located near the spot where the Rio de la Plata and the Rio Uruguay join, Carmelo is an increasingly popular tourist destination and with good reason, as it is dripping with charm, as wonderful old buildings and cobbled streets make up much of the town.

The second largest city in Uruguay, many people stop off here on their way to Argentina. This is certainly is a picturesque place as it borders the majestic Rio Uruguay. Salto is actually named after the falls which make a ‘big jump’ down near the city.

Located in the north of the country, Tacuarembo is as gaucho as they come and the rolling hills that surround the city are full of cattle and sprawling fields.

With lovely leafy plazas and tree-filled avenues for you to enjoy,
3. Punta del Este
This upmarket beach resort town is so luxurious and fancy that it is often called the Monaco or Saint-Tropez of South America, where yachts, casinos and trendy cocktail bars abound in this playground of the rich.
2. Colonia del Sacramento
The historic quarter of Colonia del Sacramento is absolutely stunning to wander around as it is one of the oldest cities in Uruguay and wonderful colonial architecture and picturesque old cobbled streets are everywhere you look.

And yes - there is much more to do but I challenged myself to highlight the most popular things to do in Buenos Aires ;)
--- Top 10 Things to do in Buenos Aires, Argentina ---
1) free walking tour (innercity & main sights)
I discovered Demasiado tours through Couchsurfing and recommendations from friends I met at different CouchSurfing meetings in Buenos Aires.
more info: Demasiado Tours, (
2) Recoleta neighborhood & cemetery
This barrio is one of the fancy onces, close to the city center -- great architecture, nice parks and one of the most popular cemeteries in town with impressive graves of notable people like Evita. I did a free tour here as well to get a quick overview before walking around on my own.
more info: Recoleta free walking tour - Buena Onda Free Tour (
La Recoleta Cemetery -
3) Buenos Aires Street Art Tours
Matt became a good friend of mine and runs unique graffiti toursfollow providing loads of information about the murals, the artists and the Street Art Scene in general -- a great way for people who are new to Street Art to dive into this interesting culture!
more info: Buenos Aires Street Art Tours (#3):
BA Street Art Tours, ( - also a great Blog about Streetart and Graffiti in general!
4) Ice Cream, Helado, Gelato -- mmmh!
The amount of people who immigrated from Italy to Buenos Aires and Argentina in general is very high -- therefore you can find loads of great Ice Cream Parlours here. Beside the big chains like Freddo you should go for some family owned businesses -- ask the locals as they know best where to go!
more info: Top 5 Ice Cream Parlours (#4):
5) Discover Buenos Aires by Bike
Time to do something active: grab a bike and cycle around the city (like I did in Berlin)! Since 2 years the city provides a decent network of bicycle routes & most of the hostels offer a bike rental service. This is a great way to get to know Puerto Madero as there is no Subte (Metro) station close to it.
more info: Biking in Buenos Aires (#5):
article by BBC
6) Parks
After all these activities it's time for a break! Luckily you can find a decent amount of green areas all around the city. My favourite one has been Bosques de Palermo
more info: Top 5 Buenos Aires Parks (#6):
7) Tango
Tango was born in San Telmo and there is an option to watch it for free at the sundays open-air market.
8) San Telmo Market / Sunday fair
The best day to visit the oldest barrio of Buenos Aires, San Telmo, is possibly on Sundays where you can stroll along the antique-market. Though it is very touristy it is a good place to get some nice souvenirs.
more info: San Telmo (#8):
9) Steak & Malbec Wine
There is no visit to Argentina without having a great steak sided by some of the best wines you can find! Beside having an Asado with friends, the restaurant Las Cabras is a very good and budget friendly option which is quite popular by locals, too!
more info: Steak Restaurant (#9):
Las Cabras - cheap, tasty and popular amongst locals (
10) Party & Nightlife
Buenos Aires is exhausting as you can party there every night ;) Around the neighborhood Palermo you can find a high density of Bars and Clubs.

Visit Uruguay - Tipping in Uruguay Explained
Whether you are doing a day trip to Colonia from Buenos Aires or just heading to the capital of Montevideo you may want to know if you tip in Uruguay. In Uruguay you do tip at restaurants about 10%. You do not tip your taxi driver, though you may want to round up the bill to avoid dealing with the change. Tour guides receive about 10% of the tour cost.

URUGUAY'S capital city of MONTEVIDEO, top sites #travel #tour #uruguay
Montevideo, Uruguay - top sites to see and visit in Montevideo, Uruguay. Let's walk around the city of Montevideo, in Uruguay and let's visit important places and monuments. Montevideo, Uruguay’s capital, is a major city along Montevideo Bay. Montevideo revolves around the Plaza de la Independencia, once home to a Spanish citadel.
Montevideo is the principal city and capital of Uruguay. Montevideo lies on the north shore of the Río de la Plata estuary.
Montevideo was founded in 1724. For much of its early history, the city consisted of what is now known as the Ciudad Vieja (Old Town). By the mid-19th century the city began to grow eastward towards what is now known as Centro. The demolition of the old fort that used to mark the eastern boundary of Old Town enabled the construction of what is now Plaza Independencia. Eventually Boulevard Artigas was built around Centro, but by 1910, suburbs were already developing beyond it which were later annexed into the growing city.
