What to do and see in Punta Carretas, Montevideo Department: The Best Things to do

August 28, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

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.

While visiting Montevideo I took a couple of walking tours as well as a cycling tour with Cyclo MVD. All were good but cycling pretty much always beats walking in the amount of ground you can cover. I can say without hesitation that Cyclo MVD has the most comfortable and best maintained bikes I’ve used on a tour, and our guide Santiago was one of the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic leaders. The drivers in Montevideo seemed pretty good and considerate but it’s a big city and a fair amount of traffic. I was impressed with Santiago’s expertise in guiding groups safely and comfortably through the city’s streets. It was the highlight of my visit to Montevideo.
