Parents note, children less than 8 years old aren't allowed inside, so plan your trip accordingly. Next, make your way through Colonia del Sacramento's walled historic quarter, a cobblestone lined area with about a dozen or so buildings dating back to their original time of building (mostly around the 1700's.) The old city includes its Puerta de la Ciudadela (also known as Puerta de Campo,) drawbridge, which served as the entrance to the old city. It makes for a fabulous photo opportunity, so start clicking away. Check out the Plaza de Toros bullfighting ring.
