Vor der Reise
Vom Flughafen
From Carrasco International (MVD), the most convenient option is a pre-booked taxi or remise (car service) for a fixed fare of approx $40-50 USD to the city center (30-45 min). The 'Copsa' bus line 700 is much cheaper (~$2 USD) but takes longer (60-90 min) and requires a 'STM' card.
Unterwegs in der Stadt
The Ciudad Vieja, Centro, and Pocitos are very walkable. Distances between neighborhoods are large, so you'll need to combine walking with buses or taxis.
Tipps von Einheimischen
- For the best asado, skip the tourist-packed Mercado del Puerto at peak hours and head to a local 'parrillada' in neighborhoods like Cordón or Punta Carretas, like 'La Pulpería'.
- Uruguayans dine late. Restaurants are often empty before 9 PM. Embrace the local schedule for a more authentic atmosphere.
- Carry a reusable thermos. You can get hot water for your mate for free at most gas stations (estaciones de servicio) and many bakeries.
