A laid-back capital, a colonial river town and Atlantic beach resorts.

Montevideo has a long waterfront promenade, a market full of grills and a relaxed pace. The cobbled old quarter of Colonia del Sacramento is a UNESCO site on the river, and Punta del Este and José Ignacio are glamorous Atlantic beach resorts.
