Palacio Salvo, Northern Region Travel Guide

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car from any location in Northern Region, head south towards Ruta 5. Continue on Ruta 5 until you reach the intersection with Ruta 1. Take the exit for Ruta 1 towards Montevideo. Follow Ruta 1 until you enter Montevideo city limits. Once in the city, look for signs directing you to the Ciudad Vieja area. After entering Ciudad Vieja, navigate to Plaza Independencia; Palacio Salvo is located directly on the square at Pl. Independencia 848. Parking may be limited, so be prepared to find street parking or utilize nearby parking garages, which may incur additional costs.

  For those using public transportation, you can catch a bus from various points in Northern Region heading towards Montevideo. Look for buses labeled 'Montevideo' or check local bus schedules for routes that connect to the capital. Buses such as 'COT' and 'CUTCSA' operate frequent services. The journey may take between 2 to 3 hours depending on your starting point. Once you arrive at the Montevideo bus terminal (Terminal Tres Cruces), you can take a local bus or taxi to Plaza Independencia. Expect bus fares to range from 200 to 400 Uruguayan Pesos, depending on your location.

• Taxi or Rideshare

  If you prefer a more direct route upon reaching Montevideo, you can take a taxi or rideshare service (like Uber) from the bus terminal to Palacio Salvo. This option is convenient and typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes. Taxi fares to Plaza Independencia should range from 200 to 400 Uruguayan Pesos, depending on traffic.
