Safe friendly foreign

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

This is a charming, relaxed city, less for great sights, more for tranquility, hospitality, and its warm people.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Beautiful Old Town Montevideo, but it felt abandoned & unkept. It could be such a beautiful area if the maintained the buildings!!

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Disappointing to see how abandoned and unkept the Old Town looks & feels. While It didn’t help that it was Carnival Holiday and the City was kind of deserted, the condition of the beautiful Old Town buildings was sad to see.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Make sure parking options are clear before staying, many hotels in city are nice but require on street parking, risky. Or a paid parking lot and walk back to hotel.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler
