The Uruguay Tourism Ministry publishes an English-language guide and gives out free maps of Montevideo as well as information about other areas of Uruguay. There is also a municipal tourist information centre (tel: +598 2 916 8434) at Explanada Municipal. It’s open Monday to Friday from 1000-1600, and 1000-1800 on weekends. The recently launched Uruguay Now website (www.uruguaynow.com) provides a wealth of information about the city’s events and activities in English.

Visa and passport information is updated regularly and is correct at the time of publishing. You should verify critical travel information independently with the relevant embassy before you travel.
