Frommers so called complete guide to Montevideo includes the following.

• Attractions
• Events
• Fast Facts
• Hotels
• Introduction
• Maps
• Message Boards
• Nightlife
• Planning a Trip

Unfortnately it is pretty skimmy. "Events" showed one even in 2008 and "nightlife" gave an error 404 not found. Maps also a 404 error.

I hope you have better luck.

Recent Visit To Montevideo

This "recent" visit to Montevideo by Donna Cuervo reported in Frommer's was in 2004. Almost 3 years ago.

He reports... "When I arrived at the airport, I was approached by someone who offered me a taxi into the city for $35 US dollars. That sounded high".

Yeah that is a bit high. Today, an Airport Taxi to Pocitos runs about US$20. A Montevideo taxi to the airport is under US$10. Donna was right when she decided to take a bus to town.

Donna was delighted with her stay at the Balmoral Plaza hotel and especially liked the Mercado del Puerto.
