Local Tips

Enjoy sunset on the Rambla, use cash for small purchases, and explore Parque Rodó's weekend artisan markets. Public transport is frequent, but walking and biking are popular within the area.

Cultural Etiquette

Tipping around 10% in restaurants is expected but not mandatory. Dress casually but neatly; Uruguayans often greet with a single cheek kiss.
