Palacio Municipal & Mirador Panorámico
Intendencia de Montevideo
This municipal building on 18 de Julio Avenue has a free top-floor observation deck offering 360-degree views of the city, the port and the Río de la Plata.
The Intendencia de Montevideo is a large mid-20th-century building with a replica of Michelangelo's David in front. An elevator takes visitors to the Mirador Panorámico on the top floor, where glass walls look out over the Old City peninsula, the Palacio Salvo, the port, Cerro de Montevideo and the coastal boulevard. It is one of the best places to understand the layout of the city, and admission is free. Opening hours are limited, mainly weekday daytime, and the entrance is on the Soriano Street side of the building. Check the posted notices on site. It can be combined with shopping on 18 de Julio Avenue and the Art Deco buildings in the city center.
