When people go on holiday in South America, they often seem to overlook Uruguay and its vibrant capital city in favour of more popular destinations like Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires. Montevideo, however, is a stunning and vibrant city and an underrated gem away from the crowds of tourists of other major cities in South America. With its stunning old town, the mix of modern buildings and colonial architecture, a rich cultural scene, and a beautiful coastline along the Río de la Plata, it's a city that can easily captivate visitors.
