Montevideo is the capital and the heart of Uruguay. The city lies on the north shore of the Río de la Plata estuary. The coastline forming the city’s southern border is interspersed with rocky protrusions and sandy beaches. A mix of postmodern-style, neoclassical, and colonial buildings dominate the skyline of Montevideo, although much of the city’s architecture is a clear reminder of the strong European influence on the country’s culture and heritage. The uniqueness and wondering sights of the city make excellent ideas for beautiful photos.
