• Peatonal Sarandi - Our tour begins on Sarandi pedestrian street. Here, we’ll share interesting facts about Uruguay and start exploring the ‘Ciudad Vieja’ (Old City) neighborhood, originally a fortified citadel built by the Spanish to fend off Portuguese attacks. Highlights include the ‘Museo del Carnaval’ and ‘Mercado del Puerto’.
• Plaza Zabala - Dedicated to the city’s founder, Zabala’s square is a lovely green space in front of the ‘Taranco Palace’ (museum of decorative arts). We’ll delve into Montevideo’s origins and its enduring colonial legacy.
• Plaza Matriz - Once the hub of daily life in the 1800s, this square features a distinct Spanish style. We’ll visit the San Felipe y Santiago Cathedral, the Cabildo museum (formerly the administrative and judicial center), and enjoy a crafts fair known for its antiques and traditional Uruguayan items.
• Plaza Independencia - The most significant square in Uruguay’s capital, marking the boundary between the historic district and downtown. It houses the remains of national hero José Gervasio Artigas in an underground mausoleum and features the iconic ‘Gate of the Citadel’ monument, perfect for postcard-worthy photos.
• Theatre Solis - While learning about Independence Square, we’ll also admire the architecture of Solis Theatre, the oldest theater in Latin America.
