Uruguay has a temperate climate, with hot summers and cold, humid winters. Keep in mind that seasons are reversed compared to the Northern Hemisphere. If you visit in August expecting summer, you’ll be in for an unpleasant surprise. Winter in Uruguay—roughly June to September—is really best avoided. It’s chilly, often rainy, and not ideal for a seaside destination. Summer, on the other hand, is lovely. We recommend visiting Uruguay between December and March. January is peak holiday season for locals, so the capital feels empty while the beaches are packed. February, which is Carnival month, is especially worth considering for a visit to Montevideo—cultural life bursts into full swing.
No need to worry about where to begin! Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audio-guide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point: : Plaza Independenzia
Cathedral Covered Parking, Rincón 517 Parking in Montevideo is generally not a problem. You’ll find paid, supervised parking lots throughout the city. Don’t be surprised if some of them look more like vacant lots than the underground garages you might be used to—they’re perfectly normal here. There’s usually one or more attendants on site, and they’ll often keep your keys so they can move your car if needed. Another thing to know: if you park in the street, you’ll likely notice people wearing municipal vests who will “help” you park by giving you hand signals as you back in. It might feel a bit strange at first, but there’s no avoiding it—they’ll stay until you’re fully parked. These are the cuidacoches—literally “car keepers.” When you return to your car, it’s customary to give them a small tip. It’s not mandatory, but it’s definitely expected and highly recommended.
Uruguay uses the Uruguayan peso, or UYU. The currency is stable and closely linked to the US dollar. In fact, you can even withdraw US dollars from most ATMs, which can be handy if you’re planning to cross over to Argentina.
