The pristine beaches, celebrated restaurants and hopping clubs of Punta del Este are
reason enough to plan a Uruguay holiday. American celebrities used to the best-of-the-best
are regularly spotted here frolicking among the sand and surf.
But there's more to see in Uruguay than one oceanside destination. Travelers also
come to walk Colonia del Sacramento's charming cobblestone streets. They come to shop
and explore the capital city of Montevideo. They come to sample ridiculously large
and succulent steaks. They come to escape to the more remote and rugged coastal paradise
of Punta del Diablo.
Many apartments4you resorts can be found in Punta del Este and beyond, providing more
than just a place to rest your head when another day of adventure is done. Check out
our list of resorts and start planning your Uruguay holiday today.

Eat...
Famous Uruguayo Beef. This area of South America is known for its cattle
industry, so if you're a meat eater, you won't want to miss out. Many restaurants
specialize in steaks and asado, a South American slow-cooked beef. In Montevideo,
try Garcia's, BAR 62 or any of the food vendors at the Mercado del Puerto. In Punta
del Este, check out El Palenque or Los Caracoles.
Rara Avis. (Montevideo). This upscale eatery in the Teatra Solis building in Ciudad
Vieja provides dinner and a show in one. Enjoy live music as you dig in to gourmet
dishes. Be sure to make reservations for dinner, but drop in to the downstairs bar
for a weekday lunch.
Francis. (Montevideo). For fresh seafood, this restaurant hits the spot. From baby
squids to seafood paella to grilled swordfish, the chefs at Francis have a special
touch with things that swim. Finish your meal with catalana cream, a concoction of
cream, milk, eggs and burnt sugar. Or go for the dulce de leche mousse with almonds.
Play...
La Rambla (Montevideo). This coastline walkway goes from Ciudad Viejo to
Carrasco and is the perfect place for a leisurely arm-in-arm stroll. You won't be
alone, though. La Rambla is a favorite hangout for native Montevideanos.
Cabo Palonio (Rocha). This beautiful swimming resort is a short drive from both Montevideo
and Punta del Este. It's smaller and less glamorous than some of its more popular
nearby neighbors, and that's what gives it its charm. Take a horseback ride along
the almost 4 miles between the parking lot and the beach area, or hop on one of the
Jeeps that run throughout the day.
Golf. If good golfing is a travel requirement for you, Uruguay won't disappoint. Several
courses in and around Montevideo and Punta del Este provide 9 or 18 holes of beautiful
scenery. In Montevideo, try Club de Golf de Cerro. In Punta del Este, try Club del
Lago Golf.
Uruguay National Football Team. (Montevideo). The people of Uruguay take their futbol
(soccer) seriously, and there's no better way to fully participate in the national
pastime than by watching the Uruguay National Football Team play in their home stadium:
Estadio Centenario in Montevideo.
Explore...
La Mansa and La Brava. (Punta del Este). As Punta del Este reaches into
the Atlantic Ocean, it creates a dividing line between the Atlantic and the wide,
calm Rio de la Plata. This creates two distinctive beach environments: La Mansa on
the river side is calm and relaxing, and La Brava on the Atlantic side offers an active
surf. Both beaches are adorned with beautiful white sands. Visit Isla de Lobos, located
off the shores of Playa Brava, to observe the largest colony of sea lions in South
America.
Shop...
Ciudad Vieja Street Market. (Montevideo). On Saturdays and Sundays in the
"Old City," the streets come alive with vendors of all varieties. From antiques to
new art, you're sure to find a good deal.
Calle 20. (Punta del Este). This upscale fashion district boasts the most exclusive
designers, including Fendi, Tombolini, Valentino and Louis Vuitton.
