Although Montevideo is a quiet town, the nightlife is an experience that visitors should not miss. Similarly to Buenos Aires, Montevideo’s evening begins quite late. People meet in bars for a drink with friends around midnight (previa) and go to the clubs to dance around three in the morning. The party continues until 6-8 in the morning for those who like to stay out until dawn.
The nightlife options are varied, with target audiences of different ages and musical tastes. They range from upscale restaurants, bars for previas and live music venues, to fancy nightclubs and underground discos. If visiting Montevideo you cannot leave without visiting one of the various milongas to see, learn or practice the most important dance of the river plate area: the tango.
