Local knowledge for Montevideo
Where to stay
Budget travelers mostly stay in Ciudad Vieja, around Calle Sarandí and the blocks near Plaza Constitución. You're on foot to the Rambla waterfront, Mercado del Puerto, and the main bus hub at Plaza Independencia. Barrio Sur is a quieter, slightly cheaper fallback a few blocks inland if Ciudad Vieja is full or overpriced.
Getting around
- Pick up a prepaid STM card (tarjeta STM) at any kiosk near Plaza Independencia. Every bus ride costs next to nothing and covers the whole city, including the route out to Pocitos beach.
- Mercado del Puerto is priced for tourists. Mercado Agrícola de Montevideo (MAM) on Avenida Garibaldi has the same quality food stalls at half the price, and locals actually eat there.
- The Sunday Feria Tristán Narvaja in the Cordón neighborhood stretches for about ten blocks and costs nothing to walk. Good for cheap snacks, used books, and getting a feel for the city without spending anything.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest from May through September. February is the crunch point: Carnival runs for several weeks, draws crowds from across the region, and beds in Ciudad Vieja fill up fast.
