To know Montevideo, you should first know its origin. The city was founded as a military settlement, a small fortress, on a peninsula surrounded by the sea, used as shelter for the first inhabitants of this area in 1724. It was divided in three: the “Ciudad Vieja” (old city), the “Ciudad Nueva” (new city) and the “Ciudad Abierta” (open city). This walking tour starts at the Independence Square where a statue of our national hero “Jose Gervasio Artigas”, guards his mausoleum and where the iconic “Palacio Salvo” is located. You will be introduced to the history of the city through the “Puerta de la Ciudadela”, ancient remains of the outer walls of Montevideo, original entrance to the citadel. You will visit the Solis Theatre, the charming pedestrian area, the Torres Garcia Museum and the “Puro Verso” library, one of the oldest buildings in the area where we will make a stop for a coffee or fresh drink. The tour continues onto the Constitution Sq. where you will visit the Cathedral, the Cabildo and then continue walking across the Old City onto the Carnival Museum, where you will discover the Spanish tradition and African roots of the Uruguayan Carnival. The tour ends at the lively port market where we suggest enjoying lunch in one of the typical local “parrillas” (Please take note that the tour can be done also starting at the Port Market and that theatre and museum visits are subject to opening hours).
