Montevideo is located in the south of Uruguay and is also the capital of the country.
The weather is usually good, but the winter could be very cold and the summer could be very hot.
One of the most important places to visit is "Teatro Solis". It's a beautiful and ancient building. Another place to visit is Legislative Palace with a beautiful arquitecture. Where very important discussions to improve the country take place.
During day you can go to the beaches or to the shopping malls and in the night you can go dancing or see a film in the movie theater.
There are great T-SHIRTS about Uruguay and beautiful crafts to buy as a souvenirs.
Before you go, you should taste the Uruguayan barbecue and a typical food called "Tortas fritas". Also you should taste "Mate".
The traffic, crime, and contamination are the most important problems in Montevideo.
