For wonderful views of one of Montevideo's first hospital and magnificent soccer stadium (site of the first World Cup Competition) stop at Batlle y Ordonez Park, named in honor of a former president of Uruguay. Marvel at the majesty of the palm tree-lined Plaza Independencia, the oldest city square in Montevideo! Designed in 1836, it is the site of a massive equestrian monument and mausoleum of the country's national hero Jose Artigas, known as "the father of Uruguayan independence."

No tour of Montevideo is complete without a stop to see the graceful Legislative Palace, considered one of the three most beautiful legislative buildings in the world. Designed by Italian architect Gaetano Moretti, it was built between 1908 and 1925 and inaugurated on August 25, 1925 in celebration of the Centennial of the Declaration of Independence. This breathtaking structure is an architectural wonder to behold.

Your return drive to your pier will have you travelling along La Rambla, the city's bustling waterfront promenade. On this route you will also be treated to stunning vistas of some of Montevideo's gorgeous sand beaches and the calm, sparkling waters of the Río de la Plata.
