This "recent" visit to Montevideo by Donna Cuervo reported in Frommer's was in 2004. Almost 3 years ago.He reports... "When I arrived at the airport, I was approached by someone who offered me a taxi into the city for $35 US dollars. That sounded high".
Yeah that is a bit high. Today, an Airport Taxi to Pocitos runs about US$20. A Montevideo taxi to the airport is under US$10. Donna was right when she decided to take a bus to town.
Donna was delighted with her stay at the Balmoral Plaza hotel and especially liked the Mercado del Puerto.
