With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Piriapolis, 25 miles away, has to offer. Piriapolis Beach, Cerro del Toro and San Antonio Hill alone make the drive out worthwhile. Montevideo is another terrific option. It’s 30 miles away and boasts an array of fun things to do. Pocitos Beach, Tres Cruces Shopping Center and Solis Theater are just the start.
