Plaza Costitution / Plaza Matriz is the perfect place to browse a fleamarket for unique goods for your collections of what-ever. The things you will get there are really interesting, no cheap souvenirs for tourists but rare and interesting antiques things of the good old times.
Take a look at my photographs, there is a big variety of goods for sale.
I did not check any prices Leave a Comment Theme: AntiquesAddress: Plaza CostitutionDirections: Plaza Costitution / Plaza Matriz is in the centre of the old town next to the cathedral.

by andal13 Where once was a jail, nowadays there is a fancy shopping mall... Yes, you are reading it right: a J - A - I - L. Punta Carretas Shopping Center is situated at an amazing building, the Penal de Punta Carretas (which was recycled, obviously!) There you will find all kind of shops, cinemas and restaurants; of course, it is not very different of this kind of places in any other city of the world, but the building and its history are really interesting. En donde una vez hubo una cárcel, hoy se encuentra un centro comercial de lujo... Sí, están leyendo bien: una CÁRCEL. Punta Carretas Shopping center está situado en un impactante edificio, el Penal de Punta Carretas (que fue reciclado ¡obviamente!) Allí encontrarán todo tipo de comercios, cines y restaurantes; claro está, no es muy diferente a cualquier otro centro comercial del mundo, pero el edificio y su historia realmente valen la visita.

by andal13 Montevideo has four shopping malls, but the most curious ones are Punta Carretas (previous tip), situated in an ancient jail, and this one, Tres Cruces, which is at the same time shopping mall and bus station, so there you can buy a shirt, have lunch or take a bus to Punta del Este! Montevideo tiene cuatro centros comerciales, pero los más curiosos son el de Punta Carretas (viñeta anterior), situado en una antigua cárcel, y éste, Tres Cruces, que es a la vez centro comercial y terminal de buses, por lo que allí pueden comprarse una camisa, almorzar o tomar un bus hasta Puta del Este!

by Shakermaker Montevideo is not the best place for Shopping. Besides some typical stuff you won't find anything you wouldn't find in other cities, prices of things related to electronics are much more expensive than those in the USA or Europe. You can find though some good prices in well-known clothes brands (such as Lacoste, Levis, etc) at the local malls. You should also visit "Manos Del Uruguay" at the Punta Carretas Shopping Center where the finest wool made clother of all Uruguay are at great prices.

 Crafts by andal13 Uruguay (not only Montevideo) has high quality crafts. All kind stuff can be found ins several craft markets, but I do recommend Mercado de los Artesanos (Artisans Market). Uruguay (no solamente Montevideo) tiene artesanÍas de alta calidad. Este tipo de objetos se puede adquirir en diversos mercados, pero yo recomiendo el Mercado de los Artesanos.
Hand-made crafts of all kind (leather, pottery, bronze, wood, stone, wool, batik...) Artesanías de todo tipo (en cuero, cerámica, bronce, piedra, lana, batik...)
From 1 to 100 dollars. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftDirections: There are two markets: Mercado de la Plaza: Plaza de Cagancha 1365 Mercado de la Abundancia: Yaguaron and San Jose 1312

 Looking for the right stone at the right price. by melosh Brazil and Uruguay are known as the sources of many beautiful geodes. After missing making a purchase of one I liked in Rio for my wife's charter school, I went on a search in Montevideo. I found a shop near the Mercado del Puerto with a beautiful large stone for 150 dollars. Compared to other stores in the city the price seemed reasonable, but it was too large to haul around so I delayed any purchase until the end of my trip in Uruguay. On my travels I learned that in northwest Uruguay one could purchase a similar stone for one tenth to one fifth that price. Leave a Comment Theme: Jewelry

The Sunday street market is surprisingly extensive (could it be 30 blocks worth?). I love markets for people watching and exploring and in this market it was easy. It was not too crowded and there seemed to be just about anything you might need. I bought a plug converter, a money belt, some toothpaste and various fruits and pasteries.
Although there are crafts, old books, hardware, CDs, new clothes, fruit and vegetables, it seems that much of what you will see is just junk. The theme being, my junk might just be your treasure.
This is the challenge: unique items can mean unique prices that will have to be negotiated. Otherwise the market works and you won't need to bargain for good prices for common items like fruit, for example. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Like I wrote on my local customs tips, camdombe was invented in Uruguay and is also very popular. If you happen to like it and wanna buy a tamboril, go to Av. Rivera 4743 and buy it to Adrian Icasuriaga, he is my cousin and he wil give you a free lesson if you but a tamboril to him. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
