[Edit]General Sights
The historic center is just irresistable. Nine small museums in the center can be visited with only one entrance ticket. For a few pesos you can go up to the top of the lighthouse (faro) and see most of the city and look out over the city and the river. Outside of the city there is a semi-abandoned amusement park with Uruguay's only bullfighting ring, it's not used anymore. In July, during winter vaction, Argentine families driving around in rented golf carts.
