Colonia del Sacramento Lighthouse, Colonia Travel Guide

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are already in the historical district of Colonia del Sacramento, the lighthouse is a pleasant walk away. Start from the Plaza Mayor, head southeast on Calle de los Suspiros. Continue straight until you reach the waterfront. Turn right onto the Rambla, a scenic walkway along the coast. Continue walking until you see the lighthouse on your left. This walk should take around 15-20 minutes.

• Car

  If you are driving, head towards the old town area of Colonia. Start from Avenida General Flores and turn onto Calle Ituzaingó. Follow it until you reach the intersection with Calle de los Suspiros. From there, you can follow the signs towards the waterfront and the lighthouse. There are some street parking options nearby, but make sure to check for any parking restrictions. The drive should take approximately 5-10 minutes depending on traffic.

• Public Transportation

  While Colonia is a small town and walking is more common, if you are coming from a nearby area, you can take a local bus that stops at various points in the town. Look for buses heading towards the Centro area. Once you arrive at the Centro stop, you can follow the walking directions from the Plaza Mayor to the lighthouse. The bus fare is usually inexpensive, but be sure to have some coins ready as not all buses accept cards.
