Punta De Este was a great time in Uruguay, we had the opportunity to visit the casino at the Hilton Conrad. The one thing is there weren't too many card tables, mostly slots. It was interesting that the casino also took American money as we thought we would be able to see our dollar go much further. Definitely a great... More

We just had a day visiting this beautiful city, and I wish I could have stayed there for a couple more days. The Ralli Museum is a must see place. And don't miss Casapueblo too.

Beautiful place to walk around, watching the fishermen, the yachts and the seals. Beautiful sunsets, and lots of parties.

The fishermen filleting the fresh fish, the hustle, bustle of the docks, the seals bobbing up and down waiting for tidbits. I thought it was a place to buy the freshest of the fresh seafood. Fun to be there in general.

Nice place to walk, purchase fresh fish, and all kinds of sea food. Love it, long boardwalk. There is nothing to dislike

Difficult to park very near but if one parks 2 blocks away , no problem! The port has recently been up dated and all the fresh fish shops have been placed under the piers in a much more attracrive position. If you like boats you can ogle for hours and for kids there are nearly always sea lions lolling about... More

This is a lovely place to take a stroll along the sea. We walked from dock to the sea on the opposite side and then through a small downtown area. If you were looking for a get away spot, this is really nice. Very clean.

Pretty yatchs, lovely sunsets, peaceful and with charm. Stay away from eateries, except for a drink at sunset, they are overrated, too expensive. If you come to punta del este, don't miss it.

While Montevideo is a bustling city, this coast side scene of one of the most famous battles of World War II, is the play land of the rich and famous. Lovely marina where one can take a "pass agatta" watching the passing parade and elegant high rise buildings overlooking the seaport, define this city. New developments are springing up everywhere...

The Montevideo harbor is a lovely tiny port, mostly for power and sailing sports boats. Some fisher boats bring a friendly atmosphere. You can by fresh fish and some other seafood straight from the fisherman and watch the seals fighting for the remains of the fish cleaning. A nice walkway runs all around the city and there is an impressive... More
