About Colonia del Sacramento for Solo Travelers
A tiny UNESCO Portuguese colonial town an hour by ferry from Buenos Aires — solo travelers spend a perfect day cycling cobblestone streets, climbing the lighthouse, and watching the Río de la Plata turn gold at sunset.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Colonia del Sacramento is Uruguay's most beautiful colonial city and perfectly sized for a solo day trip from Buenos Aires by ferry (1 hour). The Portuguese cobblestone old town (UNESCO) is tiny and can be walked in 2 hours. Rent a golf cart or bicycle to explore the entire peninsula. The lighthouse climb and the sunset from the old bastion are the classic solo moments. Lovely for solo photographs.
