Uruguay's capital, Montevideo, is a smaller, quieter and more laid-back city compared to its big sister, Buenos Aires. Montevideo is home to 43% of the country’s 2,9 million inhabitants. Its location on the riverfront (Rio de la Plata) is spectacular and the pedestrian walkway along the river ("rambla") is a must for locals and visitors.

Montevideo offers a wide range of cultural activities all-year round, ranging from museums, theatre, concerts, and popular festivities to international exhibitions and shows.

In summer, beaches are crowded. Uruguayans are nature lovers and the city is full of enormous parks and green areas. The nightlife scene is concentrated in the old part of town, where the academy is located, and offers an ever increasing amount of pubs, restaurants, tango shows, discos, and bars with Brazilian music or even flamenco.
