    The historic center can be explored leisurely and free of charge on foot in an hour or two. The cobblestone roads and the architecture of the houses transport you to the colonial era. If you have more time and budget, you can visit museums or eat at restaurants/ice cream parlors.

    A fantastic place for a calm walk, enjoying the city. The historic center is beautiful, with a lot of history. It's also a great place to watch the sunset over the Rio de la Plata and, in the background, the buildings of Buenos Aires.

    (Translated by Google) The historic center of Colonia Del Sacramento is beautiful wherever you look. A lot of history, ideal for a romantic getaway, to go with friends or family. There are not many activities for children and it is almost impossible to drive with cars for babies. (Original) El casco histórico de Colonia Del Sacramento es bellísimo por donde lo mires. Mucha historia, ideal para una escapada romántica, para ir con amigos o en familia. No hay muchas actividades para niños y es casi imposible circular con coches para bebés.

    (Translated by Google) Safety pin. The streets, the colonial buildings, the breweries and grills in the area, the museums, the lighthouse, the street of sighs (it is called sighs because there stopped the girls who exercised the oldest profession in the world in colonial times). The houses and other buildings are really from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. It is a historical heritage of humanity for the UN. Much tourism from around the world. The cobbled streets that end in river ravine transport you to the 18th century. Fortresses, walls, canyons, etc. Very nice hostels and if you want 5 star hotel you have the Radisson, the best of Cologne. (Original) Imperdible. Las calles, las construcciones coloniales, las cervecerías y parrillas de la zona, los museos, el faro, la calle de los suspiros (se llama de los suspiros porque ahí paraban las chicas que ejercían la profesión más antigua del mundo en época colonial). Las casas y demás construcciones son realmente de los siglos 17, 18 y 19. Es patrimonio histórico de la humanidad para la ONU. Mucho turismo de todo el mundo. Las callecitas empedradas que terminan en barranca al río te transportan al siglo 18. Fortalezas, murallas , cañones , etc. Hosterías muy bonitas y si queres hotel 5 estrellas tenes el Radisson, lo mejor de Colonia.

    What a fantastic place - you enter here and feel like in a time machine which takes you back 500 years to colonial times. (Maybe that's how the name of this town began).

    (Translated by Google) It is worth knowing the Casco historio de Colonia, with its cobbled streets, its colonial facades, colorful doors and windows, framed with flowers, the lighthouse, the rambla, the central square and letting you take the path to the street of sighs . Breathe a little history, full of friendly people and with many recommended restaurants. For me, a place to return and return. (Original) Vale la pena conocer el Casco historio de Colonia, con sus callecitas adoquinadas, sus fachadas coloniales, puertas y ventanas de colores, enmarcadas de flores, el faro, la rambla, la plaza central y dejarte llevar en el recorrido hasta la calle de los suspiros. Respirar un poco de historia, llena de gente amable y con muchísimos restaurantes recomendables. Para mi, un lugar para volver y volver.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful forced ride at some point in your life! Alone, accompanied by a couple, in a group of friends or with family. Ideal to go on a sunny day. It is best to have a guided tour. It is advisable to go in comfortable clothes to go all day, off for mosquitoes, sunscreen, sunglasses and hat and wear matte. And good memory space in the cel or camera, to take many photos and videos. The cordiality of Uruguayans impacts, for the treatment we are accustomed to receiving as Argentines among Argentines ... Uruguayans know, without a doubt, to treat tourists! Do not stop going! (Original) ¡Hermoso paseo obligado en algun momento de tu vida! Solo, acompañado de pareja, en grupo de amigos o con familia. Ideal ir en un día soleado. Lo mejor es contar con visita guiada. Recomendable ir en ropa cómoda para recorrer todo el día, off para los mosquitos, protector solar, lentes de sol y gorro y llevar mate. Y buen espacio de memoria en el cel o cámara, para tomar muchas fotos y videos. Impacta la cordialidad de los uruguayos, para el trato que estamos acostumbrados a recibir como argentinos entre argentinos... ¡Los uruguayos saben, sin dudas, tratar al turista! ¡No dejen de ir!

  • 5/5 GERARDO SANCHEZ M. 11 months ago on Google • 77 reviews
    A pleasant, cozy, small city, with a historic center with a lot of history, its cobbled streets, its ancient walls, the drawbridge, the houses with their characteristic lanterns and, above all, the view of the Río de la Plata. A few hours is enough to explore this small corner of the world. Ahh and don't stop eating at El Portón, two blocks away and the smell of freshly grilled meat attracts you until you sit at the table of that family business that has a lot of serving locals and strangers🤩

  • 5/5 Sol 2 months ago on Google • 15 reviews New
    One Saturday almost at the end of February, there were not so many tourists, but there were enough like us, curious to know and relax their eyes in this beautiful city full of stories and lives that marked different eras. Cobbled streets, sighs in its streets painted with rustic houses that within its walls you could imagine those anecdotes, of those who at a moment in time could walk through its streets, talking from neighbor to neighbor from one sidewalk to another. Everything is perceived in the air. And it brings you to the present little pieces of places with delicious things that invite you to sit somewhere and imagine other lives and other times in this part of this structure, pausing in time. 🩵

    It is a wonderful place, too quiet which I loved! Without many people and that allows you to enjoy the spaces better. The night is much busier and the restaurants open more

    (Translated by Google) Picturesque place to visit both day and night, you can see old buildings maintained in a very good way over time. There is also a very interesting gastronomic pole with proposals for all types of palates. It is a must see within the getaway to Cologne.

  • 5/5 Eduardo U. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Excellent conservation of the historic neighborhood of Colonia, which includes the Lusitanian period (who founded it), plus the Spanish period and finally the current one. The emblematic street is "The street of sighs" (with two versions about the origin of such designation), the access door to the "Old Town", canyons still on the wall, the Plaza Fuerte, the place where the house was erected of the governor, the Church (also of Portuguese origin), several museums that complement the different historical lapses and "the strawberry in the cake" that is the Lighthouse of essential importance for the entrance of the boats to the port of Colonia. Even at the beginning, all supplies and supplies arrived from Floreanópolis and from Rio de Janeiro, being essential not only for their development, but for the subsistence of their inhabitants. You can ascend to the Lighthouse by paying a very modest amount ticket. An enriching experience, no doubt. Highly recommended ride. (Original) Excelente conservación del barrio histórico de Colonia, que incluye el período lusitana (quienes la fundaron), más el período español y finalmente el actual. La calle emblemática es "La calle de los suspiros" (con dos versiones sobre el origen de tal designación), la puerta de acceso al "Casco histórico", cañones aún sobre la muralla, la Plaza Fuerte, el lugar donde se erigía la casa del gobernador, la Iglesia (también de origen portugués), varios museos que complementan los distintos lapsos históricos y "la frutilla en la torta" que es el Faro de esencial importancia para el ingreso de los barcos al puerto de Colonia. Incluso en un comienzo, todo el abastecimiento y provisiones llegaban desde Floreanópolis y desde Río de Janeiro siendo esenciales no ya para su desarrollo, sino para la propia subsistencia de sus pobladores. Se puede ascender al Faro pagando una entrada de monto muy modesto. Una experiencia enriquecedora, sin duda. Muy recomendable paseo.

    (Translated by Google) It keeps its history, everything very well maintained and clean, the costs to eat are a bit high, for us Argentines with the value of the dollar plus the tax to the country ... and we must see how they take the exchange rate at Pay in Argentine pesos, there is a lot of difference between the places as you take the change. (Original) Mantiene su historia, todo muy bien cuidado y limpio, los costos para comer son un poco elevados, para nosotros los Argentinos con el valor del dolar más el impuesto al país.... y hay que ver como te toman el tipo de cambio al pagar en pesos Argentinos, hay muchísima diferencia entre los lugares como te toman el cambio.
