Things to do in Carrasco Airport
Montevideo is one of South America's most livable capitals — a relaxed, cultured city of art deco architecture, excellent steakhouses, and 22 km of Rio de la Plata coastline. The Ciudad Vieja (Old Town) has the restored Mercado del Puerto with its famous parrillas (grill restaurants) producing clouds of asado smoke at lunchtime. The Rambla coastal promenade running the length of the city is perfect for cycling or walking. Montevideo's café culture and tango scene add further texture.
