You can come to Montevideo by plane; the Carrasco International Airport is not situated in Montevideo, but it is quite close; there are some international flight that arrives here directly , but most of them have connections with Buenos Aires (Argentina) or Sao Paulo (Brazil).

Well, the gateway to South America when you are this far south, for US passengers, is frankly Buenos Aires.... so many flights will fly you to BA, and then will go onward to MVD. Such is the case for me. I chose to continue on the UA flight that landed MIA- EZE, and then EZE - MVD.
The flight one way, EZE-MVD, was $68.00USD. Worth it... because the one way Ferry ride is the same, but since I would have had to take time / money to commute to Port, it was cheaper, shorter to fly from EZE....
Quick flight too.... and the Airport at MVD is small and managible even if you don't speak Spanish.

A three-hour ride from the Darsena Norte terminal in BsAs brings you here to the heart of Montevideo. It is cheaper to take the one-hour boat to Colonia and then connect by bus (same amount of time however), but there is something much more magical about approaching or leaving Montevideo by water. Watch as you leave the brown waters around BsAs and you will see them take on the more steel grey of the open sea as you get close to Montevideo. Magic? You can fly, but why when you can buquebus it?
It is good to be an hour early for all departures - whether to and fro Montevideo, BsAs or Colonia as you have to do pass immigration before boarding the boat.
An added treat for those of you sailors - the Uruguayan fleet is docked opposite the Buquebus terminal. Leave a Comment

When arriving by cruiseship you will be docked just a few meters from the centre of the old part of Montevideo, in walking-distance to most of the buildings that are of interest for the tourists. Even the biggest ships will be able to dock there, when walking to town dont miss to take a look at the anchor of the german WW II - battleship "Admiral Graf Spee" and when you are interested in a traditional tall ship, walk a little further behind the admiralty-building in order to see the sailing-school-ship of the army of Urugua.

Taxi is a good and not very expensive way to go around Montevideo; the cars are easily recognizable (painted in black and yellow, with a light sign with the word "TAXI" on the top!!!) and you can get them at the street, at the "taxi stops" or call them by phone. The cars have taximeter, so you will pay what the machine registers. The costs are higher during the night and on weekends. As usual, the Montevidean taxi drivers are also psychologists, politicians, soccer coachs, meteorologists, so you can talk with them about a lot of points.
El taxi es una manera buena y no demasiado cara de recorrer Montevideo; los coches son fácilmente reconocibles (pintados de amarillo y negro, con un letrero luminoso con la palabra "TAXI" encima!!!) y los pueden abordar, en la calle, en las paradas de taxi, o llamarlos por teléfono. Los coches tienen taxímetro, por lo que pagarán lo que indica el aparato. Las tarifas son más altas por la noche y durante los fines de semana. Como suele ocurrir, los taxistas montevideanos son también sicólogos, políticos, entrenadores de fútbol, meteorólogos, por lo que pueden hablar con ellos de cualquier tema.

There is a quick and nice way to come to Montevideo if you are in Buenos Aires: by ferry. Buqubus is the company that makes this trips, from port to port, in very comfortable ships. The same company has a cheaper service: from Buenos Aires to Colonia by ferry, and thern, from Colonia to Montevideo by bus.

Taxis are available throughout Montevideo. They are cheap and safe. If you want to take a cab just extend your hand and it will stop right besides you.
There are also some taxi checkpoints in the city, you may want to know where these are near your hotel. Don't arrange a fee before taking the cab, just wait for the meter to tell you the price. Tipping is not expected but if you want to do it it's ok. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Buses are a good way to get around Montevideo. They are safe, clean and they pass pretty often so you won't be waiting that much. Just to give you an idea a bus may pass every 5 to 25 minutes depending on the time and place where you are (at late night times change and you may have to wait longer).
When taking a bus you will have to pay a fee which is in general cheap (about 60 cents of us dollar), you should tell the driver where you want to go and he will give you your ticket. If you are not sure where to get out of the bus you should try telling the driver (in spanish, otherwise he won't understand) and he will tell you when you got to the place you wanna go.

Well, Andrea and I TRIED about 3 times perhaps to take a bus, but each time we ended up hailing cabs. Probably because it was a Sunday and the cabs were simply non-existent! How sad... I really wanted to ride the bus for local flavah and all, but when time is limited, it's time to cab it... and they weren't too expensive at all. They seem to be just about everywhere and you aren't too likely to be screwed either... Very interesting! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Another way to get to / from MVD if you are trying to come to/from Buenos Aires: Buquebus!
It is fast, quiet, nice, easy way to relax between to important Capitol Cities... the time goes by quickly if you are on the non-stop (About 2.5 hours long boat ride). And it costs about $68.00USD
You can do this Cheaper if you mix up the Boat w/ a Bus... For example, Buenos Aires by Boat to Colonia, and From Colonia to Montevideo by Bus.. and I believe this routing costs about $30 and takes about 4 hours...
And then the longest/cheapest option is completely over land 7 hour bus trip for $20.00
