This allows you to enjoy the city&#8217;s atmosphere just by strolling around the streets and admiring the wonderful architecture. Ciudad Vieja, the oldest part of Montevideo, is definitely worth a visit. There you will find the port of Montevideo which is also one of the major ports in South America. With plenty of nightclubs, this part of the city is also Montevideo\u2019s nightlife hot spot.<\/p>\n<p>Delve deeper into Uruguayan art and history by enjoying a visit to three of Montevideo&#8217;s fascinating museums:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/mnav.gub.uy\/cms.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales<\/a> (National Museum of Visual Arts) \u2013 <em>displays paintings of famous Uruguayan artists, such as Blanes and Figari.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapi.uy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Museo de Arte Precolombino e Ind\u00edgena<\/a> (Museum of pre-Columbian and indigenous art) \u2013 <em>offers permanent exhibitions of archaeological and ethnographic items of indigenous cultures across America.

Choose from a wide range of different performances and enjoy some captivating plays. At the same time you can improve your understanding of the Spanish language!<\/p>\n<h3>All about football<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"pic-box alignright wp-image-4523 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/montevideo2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" \/>Why is it important to mention football when talking about this country? In fact, Uruguay hosted the very first World Cup and even won it! Today, the <em>Estadio Centenario<\/em>\u00a0lies in Montevideo, originally built for hosting the World Cup. The national team still uses it today for international football matches. Completed in 1930, the Uruguayans also celebrated the centenary of their first constitution. This is where the name of the stadium comes from!<\/p>\n<p>You can take a tour of the stands and visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.estadiocentenario.com.uy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Museo del F\u00fatbol,<\/em><\/a> which is situated under one of the four stands. There you will learn everything about the history and achievements of Uruguayan football. You can also marvel at a wide variety of exhibits, such as trophies, signed jerseys and the match ball\u2014used in the very first World Cup final!<\/p>\n<h3>Explore the locals\u2019 favourite places<\/h3>\n<p>In the beautiful Ciudad Vieja district right next to the port you will find the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mercadodelpuerto.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Mercado del Puerto<\/em><\/a>. In this covered market you will find lots of local arts and craft. Make sure you also taste the delicious typically Uruguayan food.

Magnificent neoclassical buildings surround Plaza Matriz, giving it a unique atmosphere.\u00a0It is a pleasure to walk around.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss the <em>Iglesia Matriz<\/em>, a church located on the west side of the square. Completed in 1799, it is the oldest public building in Montevideo. Many benches also allow for a short break before you continue to explore this remarkable city.<\/p>\n<p>Your next stop, after a short rest, should be the <em>Palacio Legislativo<\/em>. This historic political building from 1908 still hosts the General Assembly of Uruguay. It is worth seeing this building for its fa\u00e7ade alone as it is a beautiful example of the neoclassical style. From Monday to Friday at 10.30 am and 3 pm you will be able to take a guided tour of the parliament building.<\/p>\n<h3>Immerse yourself in Uruguayan Carnival<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"pic-box alignright wp-image-4529 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/carnaval-montevideo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" \/>Uruguayan Carnival is usually celebrated from late January until early March. The celebrations last for 40 days, making them the longest carnival celebrations in the world. People celebrate carnival across the country but the main festivities take place in Montevideo.\u00a0Get an insight into the true Uruguayan culture and experience the celebrations like a local without that many tourists. Enjoy colourful parades, traditional music and dance performances whilst socialising with the friendly locals and working on your Spanish skills!<\/p>\n<p>If you are unable to visit Montevideo during carnival period, you can still learn something about the Uruguayan carnival celebrations. Go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/museodelcarnaval.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Museo del Carnaval<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and delve into the history of this unique festival, which goes back more than 100 years. Marvel at exhibitions of traditional costumes, masks and instruments. During the summer you can also enjoy performances in the museum\u2019s courtyard.<\/p>\n<h3>Enjoy peace and relaxation<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"pic-box alignleft wp-image-4530 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/montevideo-botanical.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" \/>Montevideo offers plenty of places for relaxation. If you prefer to relax after your Spanish lessons, or just want to take a break from a tour of the city, you will easily find what you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>Take a leisurely walk along the <em>Rambla, <\/em>a wonderful promenade on the <em>R\u00edo de la Plata<\/em>. This promenade continues along the whole coast of Montevideo. At over 20 km long it holds the world title for longest uninterrupted pavement!\u00a0The government has also protected the beach side of the promenade, giving you an unspoilt coastal view.<\/p>\n<p>Relax in one of Montevideo\u2019s numerous parks, such as the <em>Parque del Prado<\/em>\u00a0&#8211; the largest one. Here you will also find Montevideo\u2019s superb <a href=\"http:\/\/jardinbotanico.montevideo.gub.uy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">botanical garden<\/a> which is particularly worth visiting in spring.<\/p>\n<p>Montevideo also has plenty on offer for beach lovers. It is home to several beaches, ideal for water sports or a little nap in the sun. Enjoy the sun and the sea and recharge your batteries.<\/p>\n<h3>Treat yourself to delicious food\u2026<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"pic-box wp-image-4524 size-full alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/montevideo4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" \/>The most important thing to know about the Uruguayan cuisine is that you will rarely find a dish without meat. The locals love grilled meat dishes, known as <em>parrilladas<\/em> in Spanish. However, Uruguayan parrilladas often include all sorts of meat and it is not uncommon to have grilled offal on offer.<\/p>\n<p>Probably one of the most common things to eat in Uruguay is the <em>chivito<\/em>. Derived from the word <em>chivo<\/em>, meaning\u00a0goat, sliced, tender beef steak is actually the main ingredient in these tasty buns. Mozzarella, ham, olives, tomatoes and often bacon, eggs and a side of fries complete the tasty snack. Unless you are vegetarian, you should definitely try the <em>chivito\u2014<\/em>an essential part of everyday life in Uruguay!<\/p>\n<p>A very particular treat is the <em>pizza por metro,<\/em> which translates as pizza by the metre. Like the pizzas you might have eaten at home, you can have this Uruguayan speciality with lots of different toppings. The rectangular pizza por metro is, unsurprisingly, sold to hungry locals by the metre.<\/p>\n<p>Those who prefer sweet to savoury food need to look out for <em>dulce de leche<\/em>. Popular throughout South America,\u00a0<em>dulce de leche<\/em> is made from milk, sugar and vanilla. The slowly heated sweet milk becomes caramelised as part of the production process, creating a sweet paste. Many South American cakes and pastries are filled with this versatile ingredient. You can even buy dulce de leche ice cream! Eat it as a spread or heat it up and pour over waffles and pancakes.<\/p>\n<p>If you are peckish on a walk through the streets of Montevideo then try the sweet\u00a0<em>garrapi\u00f1adas<\/em>. These tasty treats are peanuts coated in caramel, with a subtle flavour of vanilla. Get your own little bag of traditional\u00a0<em>garrapi\u00f1adas<\/em> from one of the street vendors.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8230;accompanied by Uruguay\u2019s most popular drinks<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"pic-box alignleft wp-image-4531 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Grappamiel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" \/>Uruguay\u2019s national drink is <em>Grappamiel<\/em>, an alcoholic drink made of the originally Italian grappa, honey, water and sugar. Drink it on its own, or with many different added flavours, such as chocolate, peanut or strawberry.<\/p>\n<p>The country also has great quality wine on offer. You should taste the red tannat wine, made of the most popular grape in Uruguay. <em>Medio y<\/em> <em>medio<\/em> is another popular drink. This national favourite consists of equal amounts of dry white and sparkling wine.<\/p>\n<p>As in other South American countries <em>mate <\/em>is also very popular in Uruguay.\u00a0It is actually defined by law as the \u201cnational infusion\u201d of Uruguay. Mate is a delicious hot drink, made by pouring hot water over dried <em>mate<\/em> leaves, similar to tea. It is often drunk during social occasions as friends and family like to share it. Passing the drink around so that everyone can have a sip is a cultural ritual which the locals really enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Montevideo really is a breathtaking and multi-faceted city offering countless opportunities to experience true South American culture. Exploring the city\u2019s cultural heritage whilst learning Spanish at our language school is an incredibly enriching experience. When returning home you will surely have some very interesting stories to tell. So pack your suitcase and start your journey to the southernmost cosmopolitan city of the American continent!<\/p>\n<p><em>Sabrina<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uruguay is an enchanting country on the Atlantic coast, located between Brazil and Argentina.
