"...Welcome to Montevideo, a city that has everything. Big enough to party and go out for sightseeing, visiting museums, delight your eyes with its great arquitecture, and small enough to walk around safe, enjoying the peace of the coastline, the music on the streets and the sunsets from the beach.

Imagine yourself among the tiny streets of the old city town, the street markets, the traveling music groups, the drumming sound that can be heard throughout the city, soccer, tango, theatre, cinema, the quaint old bars on every corner, dulce de leche, mate (Uruguay's national beverage), the colonial architecture, the seaport, the impressive views from the Cerro, and not to mention the faces you see in the streets and on the boardwalk.

Is Montevideo an all year round city? In summer the beaches. the coastline, the candombe on the streets and the murga contests are the main attractions, while in winter you can discover a worm city, full of coffee shops, tango bars, cultural centers by day and lots of pubs and dancing places by night.

Montevideo is halfway between Argentina and Brazil which makes it a great stop if you're traveling by. Just for one day, a week or maybe for the rest of your life..."
