The 10 Best Shopping in Montevideo, Montevideo Department

December 22, 2021 Kaleigh Reichenbach

Montevideo, a port city and the capital of Uruguay, is a perfect destination for travelers looking for a relaxing stroll past colonial era buildings and along beautiful beaches. The Ciudadela Gateway, the only remaining section of the wall that once surrounded the entire city, now serves as the entrance to Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo's oldest neighborhood. Home to churches, museums, and theaters, at night the area comes alive with nightclubs playing Tango and Candombe music for crowds of dancers.

My wife and I were walking the Mercado when the window display of this shop stopped us in our tracks. When we went in we found a fantastic amount of all types of local art ranging from pottery to paintings to wood to whatever else you can imagine. The owners were happy to discuss any of the pieces and were extremely helpful. We bought 3 pieces of pottery (I am a sucker for local pottery and the prices here were very reasonable compared to others I have found in various places in the world) and two pieces of a type of wood art that I have only seen in a few other places. We had the pieces shipped to our home in the US. They arrived undamaged and were packaged extremely well. There was also good communication via email between the time we left and when the items arrived at home. I don't know if I will ever make it back to this part of the world but if I do I will definitely return to this shop.

A fantastic find in Montevideo. Friendly service from a family business with beautiful products. Ponchos, leatherwork and artisanal craftsmanship. Very highly recommended for gifts and a taste of the local colour. You won’t find a bigger smile in all the city.

An extremely talented artist featured in a small museum. Really worthwhile. Small entrance fee. Ask for portable translators if your Spanish isn’t good.
