Quick facts to keep handy: the capital is Montevideo; the currency is the Uruguayan peso (UYU); Spanish is the main language; time zone is UTC-3. Best times to visit are spring (Sept–Nov) and autumn (Mar–May) for mild weather and fewer crowds.
Travel tips: carry a mix of cash and cards, use official taxis or ride apps in cities, and keep valuables secure — Uruguay is generally safe but petty theft happens in tourist areas. For food lovers, try parrillada (grill), mate (the local tea) and coastal seafood.
Want deeper context? Look for explainers that compare Uruguay’s policies with neighbours, or analyses that show how exports or football results affect daily life. We aim to make those links clear, without jargon.
