Has anyone been to Uruguay recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers
Is Uruguay still worth visiting in 2026?

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.
