A charming pink house offers visitors a realistic glimpse into the lives of the 18th-century European colonial settlers in Uruguay.

The 360-degree view from the summit of this historic 19th-century lighthouse incorporates the entire city and the Río de la Plata.

With skeletons of prehistoric beasts and antique relics from the first days of the colonial era, this museum is the oldest in the city.

Beneath the lighthouse, walk around the maze of pathways and walls of these ancient ruins, which have survived after several centuries.

Take a relaxing stroll through the trees and cobblestone streets of the plaza that lays claim to one of the oldest churches in Uruguay.

This plaza is home to some of the most recognizable landmarks in the city and is surrounded by charming cobblestone streets that date back to the 17th century.
