Palacio Legislativo
National parliament, the first one in South America and an iconic symbol of Uruguay's long lasting democracy. The building was completed in 1925, inaugurated the same year to celebrate the centenary of the country's declaration of independence. It is a National Historic Landmark and quite impressive as it stands in the middle of a large square. It houses the legislature and the general assembly.
Drink
La Casa de Becho
If you like candombe music, this is a place to go to. It is also where the composer Gerardo Matos Rodriguez wrote one of the world's most famous tango songs, "La Cumparsita" about century ago.
Drink
Mastra
Unassuming place inside a marketplace but with an excellent selection of beers in a range of style. Yeah, they've got a ubiquitous IPA, but it's obligatory these days, but to their credit, everything else is creative and well-brewed. The best of the bunch is their Mercado, but they've also got a couple of Belgian styles, a Scottish ale, a stout, and a honey beer, so something for every kind of beer lover.
