Montevideo is a unique combination of simple, sophisticated and cultured. Montevideo is particularly rich in literature, music, theater, and visual arts – there are many museums, galleries, and theatres that are well worth visiting. Visitors to Montevideo are often surprised by the European feel, as well as the kindness and generosity of the people.

Considered one of the safest cities in Latin America, people are generally friendly, helpful and engaging. In fact, it's not uncommon to strike up a lively conversation with an Uber driver, a shop keeper, or even the people sitting at the next table over in a café!
