Top Culture in Montevideo Department

If you can, try to catch a performance during the weekdays. The weekend crowd can get pretty hectic, and you might find better seat choices and prices on weeknights.

Bring a light sweater or jacket with you. The air conditioning can get a bit chilly inside, especially if you're staying for longer performances or intermissions.

My advice is to get your tickets at the box office instead of online if you can. Sometimes they have discounts or better seat options available onsite.

I suggest visiting the lighthouse in the early morning, around 9 AM, to avoid the crowds and catch the sunrise. It's really peaceful and the light is perfect for photos!

Bring comfy shoes! There are quite a few stairs to climb and cobblestone paths to walk on, so you're going to want to be comfortable.

for the best views, stay up at the top of the lighthouse for at least 15-20 minutes. the panorama of the surrounding area is totally worth it!

Don’t forget to explore the surrounding area too. There are some cute cafes nearby. I found a lovely spot for coffee right after my visit.

If you're planning to take photos, be ready to capture the unique architecture details. I wish I had spent more time exploring the nooks and crannies.
