Colonia del Sacramento

Colonia del Sacramento, the romantic city of Uruguay!

Colonia del Sacramento

On the east bank of the Río de la Plata, 180km west of Montevideo, but only 50km from Buenos Aires by ferry, Colonia is an irresistibly picturesque town enshrined as a Unesco World Heritage site. Its Barrio Histórico, an irregular colonial-era nucleus of narrow cobbled streets, occupies a small peninsula jutting into the river. Pretty rows of sycamores offer protection from the summer heat, and the riverfront provides a venue for spectacular sunsets. Colonia’s charm and its proximity to Buenos Aires draw thousands of Argentine visitors; on weekends, especially in summer, prices rise and it can be difficult to find a room.

Narrow, cobbled streets winding among small houses keep fascinating stories from the recent past. Climbing to the top of a small hill, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Rio de la Plata. There are several relatively old churches in the city. Numerous bars and restaurants, small and cozy cafes, night clubs provide an opportunity to enjoy the nightlife.

Colonia del Sacramento, the cozy city for tourists!
