Mercado Agrícola de Montevideo - reviews,open hours,photo spots,things to do | WanderBoat AI Trip Planner

A really nice market and place to go try new food, buy your groceries for the day, fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry and so much more. There are mini-markets, a pharmacy, two nice coffee shops, various fast food places, pizza places and a whole bunch of other choices for your lunch or dinner. Is also a nice place to visit for a while, it’s big and spacious. It has a place for kids, however it’s not the best place to bring kids specifically, it’s more of a family plan. The only downside is that it is a noisy place when it’s crowded, acoustics don’t help the space when there too many people talking together.

Ubicado en el límite del histórico barrio La Aguada encontramos el Mercado Agrícola de Montevideo. Inicialmente se trató de un mercado mayorista de frutas, verduras y productos de granja para abastecer a la población de la ciudad. Su construcción comenzó en 1906 y recién se inauguró en 1913. En 1937 pasó a segundo plano opacado por el flamante y hoy extinto Mercado Modelo. Desde entonces siguió funcionando como un mercado minorista pero con el correr de los años se fue deteriorando tanto el lugar como el entorno. En 2006 pasa a ser propiedad de la Intendencia Municipal y esta proyecta su reconversión. Finalmente en 2013 (100 años después de su inauguración) se reinaugura lo que hoy es un paseo obligado si se visita Montevideo. Se mantuvo la estructura original y se renovó toda la infraestructura. Está a tan solo 300 metros del Palacio Legislativo y a no más de 15 minutos del centro. Cerca paran muchas líneas de ómnibus por lo que tiene gran conectividad con toda la ciudad. En el propio mercado hay una para del Bus Turístico de Montevideo. Dentro encontramos muchos puestos de frutas y verduras con gran diversidad de precios y calidad. El paseo se complementa con una amplia plaza de comidas y una gran propuesta gastronómica. También cuenta con muchos servicios: supermercado, carnicería, pescaderia, fiambrería, farmacia, perfumería, Abitab, tiendas de ropa y calzado, etc. Tiene un cómodo estacionamiento aunque no muy amplio pero se complementa con lugares en las calles adyacentes.

Very cool local market hall in Montevideo. Visited in the mid morning as things were just starting to open up. It's a mix of nice cafes, hip restaurants, fruit and vegetable sellers, and touristy shops with handmade goods. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the city as a visitor. I think coming a bit later in the afternoon would be a more lively experience but if you don't like crowds the morning is good too. Had an excellent cappuccino and lots of fun exploring the different shops.

Very nice market. If you are actually going grocery shopping it has vegetables stalls, butchers, fishmongers, and dry goods. If you are a tourist it also has souvenir kiosks and shops with handmade crafts, as well as a food court. It is a lovely building, but newer than the Mercado del Puerto, but is more shopping that restaurants. There is a small parking lot out front, but you may have to wait a bit for a spot to free up.

Must see place in Montevideo! This place doubles as a "mall" like place for tourists, a restaurant row and a fantastic market for organic produce. The architecture is great, respecting the original building and creating an open, but cozy atmosphere. All shops follow a no-big brands policy, and sell local products at very affordable prices. I bought there the best tomatoes I have ever tasted in a very long time.
