Über diesen Tip
On the night of 24 August, the eve of Independence Day, Uruguayans fill clubs, dinner shows and neighborhood venues for parties that play only 1960s to 1990s hits. The next day is a holiday, and the Intendencia runs traffic controls from the early evening, so arrange your ride home before the night starts. Pick a venue ahead, since parties need a city permit and some venues are not approved.
