Activity itinerary

Plaza Independencia
  • 45m
The Independence Square stands as the focal and paramount square in Montevideo, Uruguay. Situated at the heart of the city, it occupies the historic space that once served as the entrance to the fortified old city of Montevideo. At its core, the square proudly hosts the monument honouring General José Gervasio Artigas, a key figure in the struggle for independence. Surrounding this iconic monument, one finds the edifice housing the Presidency of the Republic, serving as the workplace for the President of Uruguay. The Plaza Independencia, thus, serves as a symbolic and historical centre, embodying the essence of Montevideo's past and present.
Plaza Matriz
  • 30m
The Constitution Square, also known as Plaza Matriz, graces the historic centre of Montevideo's old city. Once the central square of the fortress city of San Felipe and Santiago de Montevideo, it witnessed the pivotal moment when Uruguay declared its independence as a nation. Nestled within this square is the Metropolitan Cathedral, adding to its significance. Today, the Plaza de la Constitución stands as a vibrant hub, attracting a constant flow of tourists and hosting various cultural spaces. It remains a key focal point in the city of Montevideo, embodying both historical importance and contemporary cultural vitality.
