    Mercado del Puerto (Port Market) is more than what its name tells about it. It is a picturesque area of the city where handcrafts are sold and where there are many restaurants with outdoor tables.You can have excellent "asado" (uruguayan and argentine style barbecued meat) here and enjoy the music of the amateur singers that frequent the place. Please, donýt miss a cup (OK, maybe two or three) of a traditional medio y medio cocktail (half sweet white wine, half white sparkling wine). Believe me, it will be a great experience!

    Coming out of the Buquebus terminal and walking past the Navy/Customs building, you will wander across to the Mercado del Puerto. There is a restaurant/craft shop filledplaza on its east side. Within the iron superstructure, many more restaurant and shops are to be found. Andrea tells me the wrought-iron edifice was originally to be built as a train station – somewhere else, but it ended up here instead, without the trains.

    Street fairs/markets: Sarandi-street-market
  • Tip Rating:
  • In the street taking you from the cruise-port to Puerta de la Ciudadela and to Plaza Indenpendencia you will find lots of souvenir-stands, mainly the kind of stuff made especially for tourists, nothing special but good enough for the hasty tourist who does not want to waste his time at the much better souvenir-market opposite of the cathedral .

    Street fairs/markets: La Feria de Tristán Narvaja
  • Tip Rating:
  • It is an open market that takes place on Sunday mornings at Tristán Narvaja Street. It is a flea market, and there you can find antiques, old records (from Gardel to Beatles), old books, pets, plants, sunglasses, clothes, or even false teeth!
    Another kind of flea market takes place at Plaza Matriz (Matriz Square, Old City) on Saturday mornings; there you cand find antiques.

    Es un mercado abierto que tiene lugar los domingos de mañana en la calle Tristán Narvaja. Es un mercado de pulgas, y allí se pueden encontrar antigüedades, discos viejos (desde Gardel hasta los Beatles), libros viejos, mascotas, plantas, lentes de sol, o incluso dentaduras postizas! Otro tipo de mercado de pulgas se lleva a cabo en la Plaza Matriz los sábados de mañana; aquí se pueden encontrar antigüedades.

    Street fairs/markets: Mercado del Puerto
  • Tip Rating:
  • For a different food experience you should head for the Ciudad Vieja's Mercado del Puerto. Inside this ornate building that once was a train station, market stalls have been converted into parrillas and seafood restaurants with exterior sidewalk seating as well. Many of the establishments have proper tables, but many visitors prefer sitting on a stool facing the grill for an up-close view of the action.

    Street fairs/markets: Flear market on Montevideo strees
    Saturdays and specially sundays (more people there), Montevideo downtown´s streets get overcrowded with REAL GOOD bargains, specially on antiques. I myself bought 2 old picture cameras (one of them 90 years old!) at a very, very low price (needed a lot of talking to the seller in order to fix a low price). For those of you from Buenos Aires knowing Palermo shops, this flea market it´s quite the same, but still at lower prices.
