Everything (and everyone haha) seems to be old. Not a kind of place to have fun and enjoy. Food is great, but pricey — you can find the same or even better for a cheaper price in Buenos Aires. Legalization of marijuana isn’t something good to celebrate in my opinion and just created a weird environment. There are better places to go.

Most of the city felt a bit run down, trash in the streets, not much to see or do, and everything seemed really expensive. The Uruguayan people were nice and helpful, but once those nice folks got behind the wheel of a car they seemed to transform: Trying to cross the street as a pedestrian was annoyingly stressful. It wasn't easy to find good restaurants or coffee and they were all really expensive for what you got. I heard that Montevideo was safer than other South American countries but all that news did was make me not want to visit other South American countries because it didn't feel safe at all compared to Eastern and Western Europe.One positive is that foreign credit cards are supposed to have IVA tax reimbursed, which is quite a bit in restaurants (+20%) although this didn't work properly on all of my US credit cards. However even with the tax break it didn't feel like a great deal most of the time.
