Montevideo – Essentials

Visitors to Montevideo will arrive at Carrasco International Airport, located 15 kilometers from the city center. From the airport, busses and taxis are easily found which connect directly to downtown Montevideo. The city itself is easily traversable via foot or taxi. Car rental is available but generally, visitors prefer to use taxis due to their convenience. Considered one of South America’s safest cities, visitors should still take general precautions as they would in any city location, including limiting the amount of cash and valuables kept on hand.
