Montevideo ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Montevideo
What our students said about Montevideo
A really lovely city. Very easy to live in, safe, small enough that you can walk almost everywhere- but if you don't want to walk, the public bus system is great. Beautiful architecture, friendly people, and although plenty of people speak English, nobody leads with it, making it the perfect environment for an immersive Spanish speaking and learning experience.
It is worth getting to know the city and the people of Montevideo, who are generally friendly and discreet. The point of attention is the very high cost of living compared to other countries in South America.
The building structure is beautiful, but unfortunately many of the buildings are in poor condition. It feels like everyone has a dog, but almost nobody cleans up after them. The markets are great.
I am not sure if my assessment is representative: In Montevideo it is still early spring and pre-season, many places are still closed.
Very pleasantly surprised by the many green spaces, parks, good restaurants and bars as well as a very cool old town centre
Love it! Will definitely come back to Uruguay in the future, maybe even move here. That's how much I liked it
Interesting but expensive, I think the city is a bit dirty.
Unfortunately very dirty, a pity for this lovely city
A great diverse city full of history

Events in Montevideo
January 2025 - February 2025Every year the streets of Montevideo echo with the sound of murgas and the candombe drums during the up to 40-day long carnaval. There are dance parades and outdoor stages and carnival here has a very different flavour than in Brazil.
17 March 2025Rather unexpectedly, Saint Patrick's Day is an popular event in Montevideo too. Visit an Irish pub for some lovely green beer, Celtic music, clovers and maybe a leprechaun or two.
April 2025Rural life comes to the city once a year to show off and share their traditions. From riding displays, rodeos and folkloric dances to handmade goods and barbecues, this is a great day out for foreigners and locals alike.
24 August 2025One of the biggest popular events of the Montevidean year, La Noche de la Nostalgia is basically a big excuse to have a party and dance the night away to the hits of yesteryear.
October 2025The Día del Patrimonio is a fairly recent event in the Uruguayan calendar. The first one was held in 1995. A great opportunity to visit government buildings, museums, palaces and other places of historical or architectural interest which are open to the public to commemorate the day.
