I went alone for a weekend to Montevideo from Buenos Aires and it was wonderful. It's a very peaceful city. I visited a Sunday market, walked along the riverbank and drank mate. It was charming. And very easy, thanks to the use of the Buquebus ferry. I didn't feel unsafe at all.

The most common thing in Montevideo are the robberies, and people can hurt you if you refuse to give your things. But you'll be safe if you avoid certain neighbourhoods. Sexual harassment such as truck drivers catcalling are a common thing, although I noticed them way more when I was younger and wearing my school uniform 🤮 You can safely use public transport, but try to go to more bussy bus stops if it's nighttime (again, because of the robberies). Overall, I think Montevideo is pretty safe and other towns in Uruguay are even more.
