Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Montevideo right now.
Let's face it: Montevideans head to Buenos Aires when they want to go on an extra-special shopping excursion. But quality and selection are decent here, and prices often are lower than in Argentina. Stores in Centro, along Avenida 18 de Julio, offer the standard selection of urban merchandise. The truly fun shopping experience is to be found in the city's markets, which are vibrant and numerous.
Don't let the kitsch turn you away, this shop also sells well-crafted jewelry and other objects by local designers that are elegant and eye-catching. You can also pick up the typical souvenir for your relative who loves that stuff. Given the Centro location, the prices are quite fair.
