Rules in force · 4
- Uruguay ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Uruguay's Ministry of Foreign Affairs or a Uruguayan consulate; ferry passengers from Buenos Aires clear both countries' immigration at the terminal.
- Uruguay ↗Buenos Aires–Colonia and Buenos Aires–Montevideo ferries sell out on long weekends and in summer: book ahead.
- Montevideo ↗After dark, use a taxi or ride-hail car between clusters and to your bed; the old town is quiet and poorly lit at night.
- Montevideo ↗Dinner starts after 21:00; book or plan an early snack, and do not count on kitchens at 19:00.
