£567+ Cheap flights to Montevideo

The best time to plan flights to Montevideo is undoubtedly the month of May. The heat is still in the air, but it isn’t too hot to get outside in the afternoon. Comfortable conditions make sightseeing easy and bearable, and rainfall keeps to a minimum. Peak Season:  The perfect time to book flights to Montevideo is in the spring – September to November, when the temperatures are mild and dry. Sunny days prevail, and rainfall is quite rare this time of year, so pack a light jacket and layers, and you’ll be set for the day. Off-peak Season:  There’s really no bad time to come here, since the seasonal weather brings balancing conditions, but less people visit in March and April, when rainfall is at its pinnacle. If you can withstand the rain, you’ll probably find a cheap flight to Montevideo during the off-season – just make sure to pack an umbrella.

Geography and Infrastructure: One of the things that makes this city so entrancing is its physical attributes. Settled happily on the water, (and basically surrounded on three sides) the area was once used as a fortress by the Spanish. When exploring Montevideo, you’ll see historical traces on the western side of town, known as Old City. This is where Plaza Independencia, museums, theatres, and hotels converge. Casa Rivera: Although it might be a good idea to read up on Uruguay’s recent history on your flight to Montevideo, it’s also important to get a taste of its roots once you’re there. Visit Casa Rivera, on the same plot as the National Historical Museum. Scattered around the property are stunning 19th century Ciudad Vieja houses. Inside Casa (the former home of Uruguay’s first president), there are paintings, documents, furniture, and artefacts that chronicle the country’s history from its roots to its independence. Plaza Independencia: A bustling atmosphere filled with diverse groups of people, Plaza Independecia resides in the heart of Montevideo’s Ciudad Vieja (just call it the Old City if you’re talking to a local). If you’re looking for a real-life, moving picture when you travel to Montevideo, take a stroll through the plaza here to capture it all. The wide square is adorned with uplifting rows of palm trees, and an emblematic statue of Jose Artigas stands tall, carrying the weight of its heroic national reputation. To pay your respects to the figure, head down to the underground tomb beneath the statue. Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (Museum of Contemporary Art): For art buffs planning flights to Montevideo, the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo (Museum of Contemporary Art) is a must-see. Built in 1997 and dedicated to all realms, colours, and media of contemporary Uruguayan art, this place houses some of the biggest names in the country. Be sure to give yourself enough time to really wander – each room deserves its own attention. The museum exists purely to promote cultural exchange across the region, and does its job quite well.
