]]> Most tourists flock to Montevideo, Uruguay, to enjoy the city’s culture, architecture, food, and friendly locals. However, once they are there, they also discover that Montevideo has some of the most beautiful parks in this part of the world. If you are looking to take a breather while exploring Montevideo or just want to enjoy calming nature, here are the spots to do so.

Parque Prado

Prado is the largest of all parks in Montevideo. It covers an area of 262 acres and is home to several gardens, including a Japanese garden and a rose garden containing more than 12,000 roses. The park also has two museums, Juan Manuel Blanes Museum and Professor Atilio Lombardo Museum, while housing the National Institute of Physical Climatology and its observatory.

Parque Rodó

Strolling through Parque Rodó is really something special. The green space is best known for its artificial lake, accompanied by a small castle that houses a library for children. It also has plenty of other points of interest, like retro theme park rides, theater, occasional art exhibitions, and more.

Parque Batlle

Parque Batlle is famous for having a 70,000-seat soccer stadium inside its borders. The Estadio Centenario was built for the inaugural 1930 World Cup and is now the only building in the world to be designated as a Historical Monument of World Football. If you are not a soccer fan, Parque Batlle also offers plenty of opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities like hiking and cycling.

]]> The vibrant capital city of Uruguay, Montevideo is a destination in South America that is criminally underrated. While it might not be as famous as other cities in the region like Buenos Aires or Santiago de Chile, Montevideo offers up a bevy of attractions for tourists who are curious enough to give it a shot. Here are three places that you must see on your first trip to this marvelous place.

Mercado del Puerto

Asado, seafood, cold beer, and red wine. These are just some of the local gastronomic delights that you will find at the Mercado del Puerto in Montevideo’s Old Town. Located just steps from the sea, this market has been open for nearly 150 years and still fascinates locals and visitors daily.

Palacio Salvo

Once the tallest building in Latin America and certainly the most unique in Montevideo, the Palacio Salvo is a gem of eclectic architecture in the heart of the city. Built in 1928, you can take tours of this strikingly beautiful building that is over 300 feet tall and enjoy great city views from the top.

Carrasco Beach

Montevideo is so much more than just its beaches, but you would be remiss not to check out Carrasco Beach on your next visit there. You’ll find this gorgeous sandy stretch in the laid-back southeastern part of the city, not frequented by tourists. It’s a great place to relax and soak up the sun.
