Home to the largest collection of Uruguayan artworks, the Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales pays homage to the likes of Olga Pirira, Joaquín Torres García, and José Cúneo. Built within the Parque Rodó, take a walk in the park before beholding the beautiful curated exhibitions; the temporary exhibitions are also well-worth checking out. 

Two of our favourite things, cooking and books, are artfully merged at Escaramuza. Tucked away amongst the quiet streets of the Cordón neighbourhood, call in to this bookstore-café for a bite to eat, and a browse of their rows and aisles of books. 

If it wasn't for the sun and bright blue sky, one could almost be in England. Lavender Tea Room is a garden nursery café offering home baked cakes and cups of tea. In the true English fashion, the tea is served just as it should be: in a traditional, dainty cup and saucer. And we have to say, the cake is just scrumptious. 

A classical favourite of Montevideo, Café Misterio has been serving locals and tourists alike for more than 25 years. With dim lighting, a cosy atmosphere, and an extensive menu, there sure is something for everyone.
