Florida

The city of Florida is the capital of its namesake department and offers calm city vibes that make it a great stopping point for those traveling to Uruguay’s capital, Montevideo. You can stop for a coffee, a drink, or even enjoy a hearty dinner. You can also visit the Cathedral of Florida, the main Roman Catholic church building in Florida. Probably the only real tourist attraction in the city, Piedra Alta is a rock formation located on the outskirts of Florida. It’s home to a national monument dedicated to historical events in the region and a flourishing native flora. If you’re planning to visit the city of Montevideo, why not stop by Florida for a quick look at its flora and a lovely cup of coffee.
