The things worth doing in Montevideo, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.
Feria de Tristan Narvaja
Sunday street market running seven blocks up from 18 de Julio, 9am to about 4pm. Antiques, vinyl, livestock, produce and pure junk.
Estadio Centenario football museum
The 1930 World Cup final ground, still in use. Museum and pitch visits Mon-Sat 10-17, book online. The rebuild is postponed, so it is open.
Mercado Agricola de Montevideo
Restored 1913 market hall in Goes: produce, butchers, bakeries and a food court. Daily 9am-10pm, with gastronomy running to 11pm.
Carnaval tablados
From late January, 40 nights of murga and candombe stages across the city, plus the Llamadas drum parade in early February.
Punta Carretas and Pocitos
Leafy, moneyed barrios south of the centre: the best rambla walking, city beach on Pocitos sand, and most of the good restaurants.
