We went to Montevideo on a cruise from Buenos Aires, although I had already visited the place a few years ago, now we were able to tour it a little more. We arrived walking from the port to the old town. The Citadel Gate marks the beginning of the Sarandí pedestrian, which leads to the center of the old city. We can find numbers bars, restaurants, offices, banks, several museums, the Cabildo, the Solís Theater and the Matrix Church among other things to see. Unfortunately the time we had was not much to enjoy the whole area.View original
