The Ciudad Vieja, or “Old City,” is a great place to walk through and feel Montevideo’s local culture. Delightful bakeries, street vendors, restaurants, and shops line the streets of Ciudad Vieja. Enjoy beautiful architecture as your private guide leads you to your next destination. Feel history come alive at Independence Square, Montevideo’s most important plaza.

Most of the highlights of your private tour are located within or near Independence Square, such as The Solis Theater and Palacio Salvo. Navigate Independence Square with your private guide before continuing to other parts of Montevideo.
“El Prado” is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Montevideo and a major public park. Tree-lined streets serve as home to a collection of mansions built in the 20th century. Battle Park is another neighborhood and major public park area. It is considered the “lung” of Montevideo because of the abundance of trees planted over 150 acres. Battle Park is also home to Centenario Stadium, one of the most important stadiums for the development of South American and international soccer.
Begin the scenic drive back to your port, passing long stretches of beautiful beaches on your way to a wine vineyard. Uruguay has an admired wine-making tradition, something you’ll experience at the vineyard. See what the wine-making process looks like, then sample some delicious flavors! Conclude your tour at “Mercado del Puerto” (port market), a vibrant spot with local food, music, crafts, and people.
