Montevideo Hotels - Reviews and Rates

We had planned for a quiet day in Montevideo with no tours and no set schedule. We slept in; had a leisurely breakfast; and headed out for a walking tour of the old part of the city. Jim the warrior was pleasantly surprised by finding a piece of the famous pocket-battleship Admiral Graff Spee on display at the entrance to the harbour. We continu...

I took a quick weekend trip to the neighbouring country of Uruguay, sandwiched between Argentina and Brazil. Took a ferry boat from Buenos Aires to the capital city of Montevideo. I did not care much for Montevideo. Maybe I was not there enough to appreciate it, but coming from Buenos Aires, it was like going to a poorer and less advanced countr...

Evan told me earlier today that Quilmes Beer has a very low alcohol content. That would probably explain the near perfect state in which we awoke on New Years morning. Or maybe we are just superhuman. Either way, we were clearheaded enough to make a very split second decision to buy tickets for an afternoon Ferry to Montevideo. Since we had a fe...

After a relaxing couple of days in Colonia I moved onwards to the Uruguayan capital , Montevideo , which was only a short couple of hours journey on the bus and where I spent a few days exploring. I cant say that I was super-impressed by Montevideo , it was OK but nothing particularly inspiring or special to get excited about . But maybe I didnt...

When I hit South America, for the very first time on my entire trip I realised that I´d dramatically underestimated the time I needed to spend in a place. I could easily have spent another 2 weeks in Chile and probably another 6 in Argentina and Uruguay ..... well I could probably have afforded the place a little more time than just 24 hours, b...

Although not part of our original itinerary...upon hanging out with ainsley and graham for the week in buenos aires we decided as a group it would be fun to head over to montevideo in uruguay for a quick visit....little did we know it would turn into quite the adventure full of fun in the sun!!!! we arrived on tuesday afternoon to our new hostel...

alright well just a fast lil e-mail to let people know where i am, i moved out of the hostel today, coz it was just way to packed, compleatly full. But the good news is i found a place for like 12 bucks american, and am sharing it with the american guy named ben, who i met the girls i previously mentioned with, so between the 2 of us its 6 bucks...

So as my uncles journy home nears, the unexpected happens, and as in the game called life, when it rains it pours lol. So today was my last day with my uncle, his journy back to buenes aires, to fly back to canada, which starting in uruguay makes it a long trip to span meny days. ok that made no sense, this is what the dilly yo was lol He picks ...

Uruguay. Well its pretty inconsiquential really. Probably our most non eventfull stop on our holiday. We got a Ferry from Buenos Aires Over to Uruguay then a bus here. As citys go I would compare it to Waterford or something. Not much here to report except that milk comes in bags (couldn´t get over that one)and they dont sell stamps in the post ...

After meeting James in BA and spending one night there we headed off to Montevideo in Uruguay. It is worth mentioning the meal we had that night in BA at a little local restaurant called Des Nivel. I had checked it out the time before I was in BA, they serve absolutely massive steaks at quite cheap prices. We had starters (nothing like a good ol...
