Directions

Estadio Centenario is located in central Montevideo, about 4.5 kilometres east of the old city centre. It lies very close to the Tres Cruces central bus terminal, from where it is a short 10 to 15-minute walk.

From the historic centre one can reach the stadium with bus 115 and 143. Catch bus 143 from Mercedes street (two blocks north of Av. 18 de Julio). The bus runs almost in a straight line to the stadium. Get off at the Av. Dr. Americo Ricaldoni (corner Av. Italia).

Bus 115 uses a slightly more roundabout way to get to the stadium. You can get on the bus at Andes street at the crossing with Av. 18 de Julio (near Plaza Independencia) and get off at the Av. Dr. Americo Ricaldoni (corner Av. Italia).

Bus 21, 64 (both from Av. 18 de Julio), D9, and D10 (both from Buenos Aires and Av. 18 de Julio) can also be used. They are quick and all pass the stadium at very close distance, though not exactly in front of it, which makes it harder to orientate where to get off (which is at the Av. Italia corner Av. Dr. Americo Ricaldoni).
