Serving as Uruguay's capital, Montevideo is home to over 1.3 million people. Established in 1724 by Spanish soldier Bruno Mauricio de Zabala, the city has had its share of historical events, including a brief spell under British rule in 1807 and an eight-year siege during the Guerra Grande civil war. The city is the birthplace of both Latin America's leading trade blocs and the first FIFA World Cup. However, Montevideo is not solely defined by its past. The Mercer's 2019 report rated it as the best city for quality of life in Latin America, showcasing its dynamism and constant evolution.

Montevideo encompasses a rich, eclectic culture, serving as Uruguay's commerce and education hub. The feel of the city reflects its European immigrant roots, sparking social change including divorce and women's suffrage rights in the early 20th century. The city's name originates from Cerro de Montevideo, a hill offering splendid views of the bay. Nevertheless, it is not without its darker periods, having faced economic stagnation and political violence from the 1960s until the end of the dictatorship in 1985.

When to visit Montevideo

The ideal time for a family holiday in Montevideo is during the sun-drenched summer months between November and February. For the best views of the captivating coastline, it's suggested to book your hotel early. Even as the summer crowds disperse, the allure of Montevideo remains vibrant in March, with many coastal amenities remaining at your disposal. The warm sea temperatures extend into April and May, making them suitable for enjoying the sandy beaches.

For those more drawn to Montevideo's rich culture and history, the winter months (from June to September) offer peace and quiet, ideal for exploring the city and its surrounding towns. Irrespective of the time of year, the city's combination of natural beauty and cultural richness guarantees that any visit to Montevideo will be an unforgettable experience.
