Itinerary

1. Zabala Street is populated by austere and imposing buildings, like the one that stands gigantic in front of you. It is a historical monument of Montevideo, and one of the most representative of the old town: the headquarters of the Bank of the Republic.

2. So you are on the popular Rambla de Montevideo. With these 24km along the bay, it is the longest sea promenade in the world. This is really the place to come and take the pulse of the city. If you haven’t walked the Rambla, you haven’t actually been to Montevideo.

3. I hope this walk in Montevideo has made you hungry, because you arrive in front of its gastronomic temple, its Mercado del Puerto. Don’t let yourself be fooled by its Point of Sale name, you won’t find any fresh fish or seafood inside.

   Passes by

4. You reach the pedestrian street of Sarandi which leaves from the port to Plaza Independencia. Know that if you take it in the other direction, towards the sea, you can walk to the end of the pier where there are usually some fishermen, and enjoy the view.

   Passes by

5. Swearing a little with the rest of the landscape, you find here, on the Rambla, the English Temple. It’s quite unique to find a Protestant temple, from the Anglican church in Hispanic America.

   Passes by

6. The street you cross now is called the Cumparsita. Since the one before was Carlos Gardel Street, it might be time to take a look at the Tango.

About Montevideo

Montevideo is Uruguay's relaxed capital on the Río de la Plata, with an old-town peninsula, a long seafront promenade and a love of grilled meat.

Montevideo spreads along the north shore of the Río de la Plata, where the river is as wide as a sea. The Ciudad Vieja, the old town on a small peninsula, is where the city began in the 1720s, a district of Art Deco and colonial buildings. Plaza Independencia opens onto it, with the Palacio Salvo tower and the statue and mausoleum of José Artigas, the national hero, and the Teatro Solís, opened in 1856, stands nearby.
