Part 2/8:
Most visitors will likely arrive in Montevideo from Buenos Aires, Argentina. A convenient and budget-friendly option is to take the Colonial Express ferry. This service takes travelers across the Río de la Plata to Colonia del Sacramento, from where a bus can easily whisk you away to Montevideo. The combined cost for this journey is approximately 28 euros per person. Those coming directly from Buenos Aires can choose a more expensive ferry, but the scenic route via Colonia is well-regarded for its ease and efficiency. For travelers arriving from Brazil, bus services are also available from southern cities like Florianópolis.
