Uniqueness in abundance. Picture the scene - palm trees surround you, towering against an azure sky. It's warm, the architecture of the buildings around you distinct and unique. Certainly not Mediterranean but not without its influences. Welcome to Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay. You're standing in the centre of Ciudad Vieja, just a street away from Plaza de Independecia. This is the main commercial artery of the city. Looking down over the slight hill, you can see people jostling to complete their everyday activities. Montevideo conveys a sense of bustling activity, with people out and about at almost any time of day. For this reason, it also has a reputation for being very safe. The side streets and alleys that hide myriad shops and boutiques are a joy to explore. Boasting beach, shopping, architecture and history, this is a truly fantastic port stop-off that is a cultural wonder to experience. Be sure you don't miss out.
