Timeline

    Rodelú

    Grab a slice of pizza at Rodelú. It is a quick, good bite in Parque Rodó, just a short walk from the museum.

  2. 19:30

    MNAV

    Walk to the National museum of modern Uruguayan art (MNAV). Enter the building and head to the upper levels or terrace to find your spot. The museum is open until 19:00, so you have time to explore the permanent exhibition of Juan Blanes and Rafael Barradas before the light changes.

  3. 20:00

    MNAV

    Stand on the MNAV terrace as the sun sets toward the WSW. The golden light at 19:24 will wash over the city, offering a dramatic view as the day ends.
