When is the best time to visit Montevideo

Montevideo's best time depends on your priorities: summer brings Carnival and beaches but peak prices, winter offers 40–50% savings with cultural depth, while spring and autumn balance mild weather with moderate rates and authentic gaucho festivals.

High season
December - February
  • Prices: Peak rates for flights and hotels; book 8-10 weeks ahead for better deals on summer travel.
  • Weather: Warm summer, 17–28 °C with 6–8 rainy days per month; ideal beach weather along the Rambla.
  • Events: Carnival parades and murgas (January-February), New Year's Eve fireworks at Pocitos Beach, and Las Llamadas drumming processions showcase Afro-Uruguayan culture.

June - August
  • Prices: Cheapest flights and accommodation rates; winter deals can save 40-50% compared to summer peak season.
  • Weather: Cool winter, 6–14 °C with 8–10 rainy days per month; pack layers for chilly evenings and occasional drizzle.

Shoulder season
March - May, September - November
