    Frommers Guide to Montevideo

    By Sim Bartson at 10/12/07 18:43
    travel guide Frommers Guide to  Montevideo
    Frommers so called complete guide to Montevideo includes the following.

    • Attractions
    • Events
    • Fast Facts
    • Hotels
    • Introduction
    • Maps
    • Message Boards
    • Nightlife
    • Planning a Trip
    • Restaurants
    • Shopping
    • Side Trips
    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.

    Wikipedia on Montevideo

    By Sim Bartson at 10/08/07 17:59
    history Wikipedia on Montevideo
    Wikipedia has a nice page on Montevideo, but could use some better photos especially at the begining.

    I wonder why the kids looking for information to use in their school reports don't use wikipedia. Though often boring they have lots of information...and for Montevideo they cover:

    • 20th Century
    • Early History
    • Education
    • Geography
    • Growth/economy
    • History
    • Neighbourhoods
    • Origin of Name
    • Population
    • Sister cities
    • Sites of interest
    • Sports
    • World City Formation

    Recent Visit To Montevideo

    By Sim Bartson at 10/06/07 13:44
    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.

    View her complete post and lots of comments at Frommers:
