As we prepare for the XII Jean Monnet Network BRIDGE WATCH Seminar, on the theme “Green Transition and Sustainable Societies” we invite you to discover Montevideo, a city where coastal landscapes, historic architecture, green spaces, culture, and everyday life come together!

Located along the Río de la Plata, Montevideo is shaped by its connection with the coast. Its iconic Rambla, stretching for around 30 kilometres, connects beaches, parks, public spaces, restaurants, and neighbourhoods.

📍 Main Attractions in Montevideo

🔹 Rambla de Montevideo: The city’s iconic waterfront promenade, perfect for walking, cycling, and enjoying the coastal landscape.

🔹 Palacio Salvo: One of Montevideo’s most recognisable landmarks, inaugurated in 1922.

🔹 Parque Batlle & Obelisco: A major green space featuring important monuments and sports facilities.

🔹 Estadio Centenario: A historic football landmark and the venue of the first FIFA World Cup final in 1930.

🔹 Ciudad Vieja & Plaza Independencia: The historic heart of the city, home to landmarks such as the Teatro Solís, Palacio Salvo, and Puerta de la Ciudadela.

🔹 Puerto de Montevideo: An important part of the city’s relationship with the Río de la Plata.

In the coming days, speakers and guests from across the world will gather in Montevideo to exchange ideas on green transition and sustainable societies, while experiencing a city where urban life, nature, culture, and the waterfront come together!
