Palacio Salvo in Montevideo is an iconic architectural landmark, best experienced via guided tours to appreciate its rich history, intricate design, and often, panoramic city views from upper floors. While its impressive exterior is freely accessible for solo viewing at any time, interior access and a deeper understanding require booking a guided tour, typically costing around $10-20 USD. These tours, which usually last 1 to 1.5 hours, run year-round but it's advisable to check schedules and pre-book, especially for English-speaking options, as availability can be limited. The building is centrally located and easily accessible by public transport, though internal access for those with mobility challenges should be verified with tour operators, as some parts might involve stairs. It's a must-see stop often combined with other downtown Montevideo sights.
