Montevideo does not allow smoking in enclosed spaces -- all stores, restaurants, cafes, and buses. Gaelic Cafe on Rincon/Ciudadela has a good upstairs for a late afternoon coffee. Parque Laroche by park Rodo and the park at Vazquez Ledesma have weekend markets.
A beautiful city! It was a great surprise to know Montevideo and I recommend everybody to do the same. You won't regret it.
Punta del Este … Plaza Artigas has a covered market, a small skateboard bowl, and often a live band on weekends. Winter is June/July, but the beaches are still great to walk on, and in sunny weather the harbor is packed with people.

1949 Hostel in Punta del Este … Ok, so maybe the rooms can be a little tight, bathrooms a little old (but they have been remodeling them!), but this is the place to be. There's an awesome bar with views of the sea, walk two blocks to the "calm beach" and maybe four to the "waves beach." Awesome staff, always fun to be had!

Backpacker de La Barra in Punta del Este … The place is great. It is clean and very comfortable. The staff are very polite and efficient. Yes, it is at 10 blocks from the beach, but they rent bikes for 2 dollars a day. I've been there twice and before my first visit I had to cancel my reservation due to personal problems and they never charged me a dime. I strongly recommend it.
