Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th of September 2009 are ‘Día del Patrimonio’ in Montevideo. This is a cultural heritage weekend where museums open to the public for free and many other usually-private buildings (such as embassies and the Antel tower) are open to the public for tours and/or expositions. There is quite a list of locations you can visit and the buses are also running pre-planned circuits of several sites.

Fore more information and hours grouped by city and barrio, you can visit the official site at www.patrimoniouruguay.net and click on “GUÍA de ACTIVIDADES 2009′ or for an easier view of all the happenings  in Montevideo (although not the official site) go to www.surcultural.info.  Have fun exploring!!
