Hosting a University Fair in Montevideo
Montevideo is a calm but culturally active city in the heart of the River Plate region. With its vibrant life and rich educational heritage, it offers an excellent opportunity for university fairs, attracting considerable numbers of potentially international students from Montevideo and other cities in the country eager to explore global academic opportunities.
Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay, is located only 3 hours from Buenos Aires by ferry, and its infrastructure provides various options for venues that can host university fairs for prospective students from national and international schools.

Plan Your Visit to Uruguay
Montevideo, the capital city is a very safe area, with many good restaurants, architecture, and outdoor squares and parks, together with a beautiful rambla -the seafront road. While many visitors choose to stay in the heart of Montevideo, in picturesque areas like Ciudad Vieja, many international schools are located half an hour away in the Carrasco area, which is close to the Carrasco International Airport. One may wish to consider the balance between accessibility to sites and access to schools. Montevideo is easily accessible via aeroplane or ferry from Buenos Aires.
Recommended for accommodation: Carrasco, Pocitos, Downtown
Transportation: Cabify, regular taxis, Uber
