Nice oldie worldie feel about it. Good just to walk about and have a cup of tea. Great sunset photos.

The town was very nice. Close to wineries, although I wasn't able to fit that in. It is more for couples and families then it is for nightlife. Quiet and relaxing. One or two days is all you need.

If you want to get a nice picture for the entire town, you have to get up there, and I am calling it the "Million Dollars View". The stairs are very steep, and they don't allow people wearing sandals in for safety reasons.

🏛️🏛️🏛️ A HISTORICAL LANDMARK. The lighthouse is the most prominent structure within the walled fort of Colonia del Sacramento. Built in the 1850s on the ruins of nunnery. The beacon of the lighthouse has been a guide to ships in the estuary of Rio Plata.

Walking through the cobblestone streets of Colonia del Sacramento feels like stepping into a time capsule. Every stone, every colonial facade, every old lantern seems to whisper stories of sailors, merchants, and cultures that crossed paths in this corner of Uruguay. And right in the heart of it all stands the lighthouse. The Colonia Lighthouse rises above the ruins of the old San Francisco Xavier convent, and from the top, you get a sweeping view of the city embracing the Rio de la plata river But the real magic isn’t just the lighthouse. It’s the walk. Heading downhill from the historic center toward the river, surrounded by whitewashed walls, blooming bougainvillea, and uneven stones, you feel something deeper. There’s a quiet energy, almost spiritual. The Río de la Plata appears at the end like a vast mirror, and you feel small but full. Recommendation: Take the walk in the late afternoon, when the sun begins to dip. The golden light on the stones and the river creates a magical atmosphere. And if you can, climb the lighthouse just before sunset. It’s a postcard moment you won’t forget.

Cool lighthouse 💡🏠 to stop by briefly. It looked really cool with the blue 🔵 sky and birds 🐦 flying in the background. Unfortunately, it was closed ⛔ when we went so we couldn't see the inside of it.

Nice old colonial town, there are a lot of bars and restaurants, you can climb the lighthouse, walk the original streets and spend easily half a day waiting perhaps for the ferry to Buenos Aires. The old town is situated just a few blocks away from the ferry and bus terminal.

This is a highly photographed street. It's picturesque and had a nice contrast of colors. It is beautiful. There are always people during the day, I arrived after sunrise to photograph this street and it was still empty at the time.

HORRIBLE!!! Please do not go here!!! Worst food ever: salad with tons of mayo but no dressing, oily vegetable wok, greasy calamary rings and worst of all DOG HAIR in the food (because there is an actual dog in the kitchen!!!). And the prices were tremendous (paied about $130 for the 4 of us and didn’t even order anything fancy). We complained, but they would not give us any discount under any circumstance. We have never eaten in a worse restaurant ever!!

SCAM! It is beyond tourist trap, is a complete scam. Is by far one of the worst experiences I have ever had! We asked if we could pay with credit card and they said yes and just when we had to leave they said they had a problem, they knew we were in a rush for the ferry to go back to Buenos Aires. Food was really poor quality, it was tasteless, prices were outrageous, as if we weer dining on a Michelin star restaurant but with spiderweb on the chairs and food without flavour, they charged for bread they didn't give us, and so on. Really terrible place, they charged us service compulsory it was a complete scam.

Save your money, not worth it the outrageous prices for everything. Only redeeming features are the view and they have dogs. Food was below average. Proprietors sat outside and smoked the whole time we were there. Prices are just silly expensive. Rather go somewhere else where you’ll get what you pay for, although it will be difficult because nowhere else charges so much.

Turist trap!!! Don't there the food is bad and prices are outrageous. We order a "trucha" that tasted more like a farm salmon. All fish is frozen. We spend more than $USD70 for a very bad lunch.

If you like to wait more than 40 mins for a piece of fish and mashed potatos then you will looove this place. If you like to be Charged over 60 US dollars for a piece of fish and mashed potatos then this place if for you. Enjoy

DON"T STOP. The food is not edible. We ordered ravioli's and couldn't even eat one that's how bad they were. I have had canned ones that were better. The prices are high, the food is bad, the service is bad. The only good thing was the location. Again don't stop.

Very dirty, with flies.. ultra expensive. Bad food

They renovated the stadium and now it's open for tours! 170 pesos gets you into the tour and they start at the beginning of the hour. The tour guide gives the tour in Spanish but very interesting information about the history of the plaza. They now use it for events which is cool but didn't have the opportunity to go to one.

Interesting but out of the way. Can skip if it is same day trip from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento

I like it, but manage your expectations, is not much.Very professional managed, short tour, no souvenirs shops or coffe shop in the premises. Elevator for people with mobility issues. Is ok to kill a few hours, but not definetly the highlight of your trip to Colonia.

The stadium was renovated and reopened. A guided tour is available for 170 pesos which lasts for about 45min. They explain about the history of the sport, stadium and about the reconstruction. A free entry is also available without the guide but the entrance is towards the left side(near the restaurant/winery)

Iconic place, historic monument, piece of history in Colonia, Uruguay, and a beautiful restoration that will bring this jewel back to life. Can't leave Colonia without visiting it.

100 Pesos to enter. Well preserved stadium with some beautiful architectural elements, a gift shop and a really charming winery collective tasting room. Easy to reach by Golf cart from Colonia Historic center.

Plaza de Toros (bullring)It's nice to see these places to compare times in history and the humankind evolution, since here, it shows that animals are taking into consideration in some way. I had the oportunity to visit "La Plaza de Toros" bullring is the translation, in 1985-86 when anybody had access to the ring, and it was falling into pieces because it was abandoned. I rent a bike and went along the riverside in 10-15 minutes. Once in the Plaza de Toros they allowed me to enter it and locked it under a stair. A tourist guide told us the history of the place which is gorgeous and enigmatic. Colonia, Uruguay 2023

Lots of restaurants, most of them within walking distance of the old city (the UNESCO protected site). Family-friendly city, no question. And lots of small EVs (electric vehicles) can take you around town safely and it's also lots of fun for everyone!

An excellent way to spend a day in Coloniadel Sacramento is taking a leisurely stroll down the romantic walk along the shoreline. The sidewalk is very well maintained by the city and is wide enough to fit a bunch of people. The street lights make it relatively safe to traverse at night & the views are to die for.

Nice place to hang out

Great ferry service. Immigration agents worked quickly.

Very calm and nice beach

Perfect place to relax and enjoy the weekend. Beautiful streets, mesmerizing sunset view point, great ice cream stores and amazing time with friends.

Amazing place
