Montevideo – Buy

Montevideo is home to many local markets as well as large shopping malls and everything in between. Visitors should consider the local market of Mercado de los Artesanos. Containing an array of custom-made goods, the craftsmen sell everything from leather to wood and textile-based products. As Uruguay is famous for its leather, visitors should consider stopping by the Montevideo Leather Factory at Plaza de La Independencia. For large-scale shopping malls, both the Punta Carretas and Montevideo shopping malls offer a range of domestic and international fashion brands.
