  • Montevideo is a quite safe city, especially if we compare it with another Southamerican cities; anyways, the economical crisis of these last years, brought a crime increase (particularly robberies), so be careful with your belongings (camera, purse) and avoid the surrounding areas and marginal districts.

    Montevideo es una ciudad bastante segura, especialmente si la comparamos con otras ciudades sudamericanas; de todos modos, la crisis económica de estos últimos años trajo un incremento de la delincuencia (particularmente robos), por lo que tnegan cuidado con sus pertenencias (cámara, cartera) y eviten las zonas de los alrededores y los barrios marginales.

  • Montevidean Carnival is pretty famous in the whole country and abroad, and it is the longest carnival in the world, because it lasts all February; the opening parade usually takes place the first Friday of the month, and the llamadas parade, next Friday, and different shows take place every night. But during the "real" Carnival days, practically you will not find any activities in the city, because during those holidays, everybody goes out to the beaches or to camp... so if you want to enjoy the Montevidean Carnival, do not come during Carnival!

    El Carnaval Montevideano es bastante famoso en todo el país y fuera de fronteras, y es el Carnaval más largo del mundo, dado que dura todo el mes de febrero; el desfile inaugural tiene lugar habitualmente el primer viernes del mes, y el desfile de llamadas, el viernes siguiente, y diferentes espectáculos tienen lugar todas las noches. Pero durante los "verdaderos" días de Carnaval, prácticamente no encontrarán actividades en la ciudad, porque durante este feriado todo el mundo se va a las playas o a acampar... así que si quieren disfrutar del Carnaval Montevideano, no vengan en Carnaval!
