Montevideo is a cute city, which city center really kept the vibes of the Spanish colonial architecture era. If you go there, try to check on a "Murga" or a "Candombe" show, both are really worth it! I felt extremely safe there

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.

Montevideo is a safe city if u know where to walk, at day is ok no matter what neighborhood u are in, but at night this certain spot if u go there u really gotta be extra careful with your surroundings

Quite safe in populated areas and during the day; in more outlying neighborhoods and at night it becomes a bit less safe, although pickpockets are present all day and everywhere. At night or in more remote or dangerous places, you could experience a more violent robbery. Regarding sexual violence, it is not one of the main crimes committed, but that doesn't mean it can't happen, especially at night.

I don’t recommend being aline at night. During the day its fine and people are very nice. Ask locals for directions and if you are unsure go inside a store or anything you can find. If you are a solo female traveler try to stay in a group or avoid being alone at night.
