🇺🇾 Where to live in Montevideo
Montevideo's residential areas run from the old port quarter outward along the coast. The western end holds the dense, walkable core: Ciudad Vieja, Centro and Cordon, with civic buildings, theatres, university blocks and street ferias. East of Parque Rodo the city follows the rambla through beach barrios, ending in the low-density garden streets of Carrasco.
