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.

The museum is a great honour to the 29 who perished and a lesson to us all that life is not a gift but should be deserved. With its combination of storytelling, science and insight into the human spirit it has something for everybody. This is one of the best curated museums I have ever visited. Thank you Jörg!

Our guide Paula was professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic! The museum is located on the site where tango was first danced in Montevideo. You feel the ambience in this well-designed space. The tour is just 20-30 minutes, but so full of info! I can’t recommend this enough!

Great place to wander around. Some very cool artefacts and you can learn a lot about the history of the leadership of Uruguay. Nice architecture and the wooden panelling in the lobby is amazing.

Not only were we able to visit the museum, but we were also lucky enough to attend a Carnival Gala performance. This was a truly wonderful mix of music, song and dance telling the tale of Uruguayan Carnival. The Condome drums were certainly mesmeric. It was obvious that all participants enjoyed taking part, making it a great evening.
