Meet your guide in front of Nuevo Hotel Aramaya, Av. 18 de Julio 1103, 11100 Montevideo, Departamento de Montevideo, Uruguay. Please do not enter the hotel, it is only a meeting point and the staff is not informed about the tour.

Cagancha Square

Private tour of Montevideo’s historic centre and immerse yourself in the city's colonial charm and vibrant history. Your journey begins at Cagancha Square, home to the 'Column of Peace,' a symbol of unity and a testament to Uruguay's dedication to harmony. Stroll along the bustling 18 de Julio Avenue to Juan Pedro Fabini Square, where the 'El Entrevero' sculpture captures the essence of Uruguay's diverse cultural roots.

Salvo Palace

Marvel at the architectural grandeur of Palacio Salvo, once the tallest building in Latin America, standing as a beacon of Montevideo's modernist aspirations. Pause at Independence Square to admire the Artigas Mausoleum, the solemn resting place of Uruguay’s national hero, General José Artigas. Pass through the Gateway of the Citadel, a remnant of the city's colonial fortifications, leading you into the heart of the Old Town. Here, the Solís Theatre awaits, an elegant neoclassical building that has been the epicentre of Uruguay's performing arts since the 19th century.

Pre-Columbian and Indigenous Art Museum

Pass by the Pre-Columbian and Indigenous Art Museum, a small yet rich collection celebrating the region's earliest cultures. Continue to the vibrant Port Market, a 19th-century iron structure bustling with local artisans and traditional eateries, and the Museo del Carnaval, where the colourful history of Uruguay's carnival traditions comes to life through an array of costumes and exhibits.

Museo Histórico Cabildo de Montevideo

Continue to the Museo Histórico Cabildo de Montevideo, a colonial-era building that once served as the city's government house, now preserving Montevideo's rich historical archives. Nearby, the Montevideo Metropolitan Cathedral stands with its neoclassical façade, marking the spiritual heart of the city. Conclude your tour at Zabala Square, a tranquil park honouring the city's founder, offering a serene end to your historical journey.
