Ancient fortifications, scenic cobblestone streets, and vibrant colonial houses make Colonia del Sacramento one of the prettiest cities in all of Uruguay. It sits on Uruguay’s southwestern edge overlooking the waters of Rio de la Plata, right across Buenos Aires. There’s a lot to see in this UNESCO-listed city, such as the historic Old Town Gate, the main square Plaza de Armas, and the many museums. It’s also where you’ll find one of the most picturesque places in the country, the Street of Sighs. And, of course, there’s the pretty marina with docked boats. However, one of the best things to do is simply walk around the city and admire the colonial architecture. So, why not stay in equally lovely Airbnb rentals while you’re here? Check out the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay.
