Montevideo Hotels

As the only significant urban area in the country and indeed, as the national capital, Montevideo is the undeniable academic, cultural, commercial, economic and political pulse point in Uruguay. Squeezed as the country is by both Argentina and mighty Brazil, as the heart of a nation, Montevideo is delightfully self-effacing, and yet, defiantly proud. City residents have much reason to be, with beautiful districts like the Ciudad Vieja and torrent of proximate beach resorts. The cultural and social heritage of Montevideo includes a nonpareil, eclectic architectural landscape, the infectious rhythms of candombe, tango, and of course, fútbol. Superb points of interest to explore in Montevideo include the Palacio Legislativo, Cabildo de Montevideo, Catedral Metropolitana, Museo Torres García and vibrant La Feria Tristán Narvaja Flea Market.
