More Things to Do in Montevideo
Things to Do
Rambla de Montevideo Waterfront Walk
Walk the Rambla, Montevideo's 22-kilometer waterfront promenade along the Rio de la Plata. Locals jog, cycle, and sip mate along this coastal strip that connects the city's diverse neighborhoods. The route passes Playa Pocitos, the port market, and offers sunset views that rival any South American coastline.
Things to Do
La Rambla Fan Walk
La Rambla — Montevideo's 22km waterfront promenade along the Río de la Plata — is where Peñarol and Nacional football fans conduct their pre-match rituals, walking in streams of black-and-gold and red-and-white jerseys with the brown river glinting beside them. The informal fan gatherings on the wooden benches facing the water, fuelled by mate shared from a thermos, are one of South American football culture's most endearing traditions. On Uruguayan national team days, the entire rambla becomes a flag-waving civic celebration.
Things to Do
Carnival del Uruguay Desfile de Llamadas
Uruguay hosts the world's longest carnival season, and the Desfile de Llamadas in Montevideo is its most spectacular event, where enormous costumed groups of candombe drummers parade through the Palermo district in a display of musical and visual magnificence. Fans of Afro-Latin music and percussion culture make pilgrimages from across the world to witness this declaration of cultural identity and community. The intimate street scale of the parade, where spectators stand metres from hundreds of thundering tamboriles, creates a physical impact that stays with witnesses forever.
Things to Do
Ciudad Vieja Walking Tour
Walk the historic old town from Plaza Independencia past art deco facades, tango bars, and street art to the port — Montevideo's most character-rich neighborhood.
