Montevideo, Uruguay

Montevideo is the largest city, the capital, and the chief port of Uruguay.  As I remember correctly we only spent one night here.  Again we stayed at Hostelling International.  This hostel is centrally situated and our room overlooked Plaza Independencia and the Solís Theatre, which is is Uruguay's oldest theatre.

After a lot of travel, just lying on the beach was great:



Tip:  Exploring some museums and visiting old buildings could be interesting as Montevideo has a very rich architectural heritage and an impressive number of writers, artists, and musicians. And maybe seeing an Uruguayan tango show, which originated in the neighbourhoods of Montevideo towards the end of the 1800s.
