Cordón
Cordón is the university district of Montevideo and houses the Universidad de la República, the country's largest and oldest university. The neighborhood is characterized by student life, cultural institutions, and a vibrant nightlife.
The central location between the business center and the upscale residential neighborhoods makes Cordón a popular place to live for young professionals and students. Avenida 18 de Julio crosses the neighborhood and offers numerous shopping opportunities, cafés, and cultural institutions.
The Universidad de la República was founded in 1849 and is Uruguay's leading university with over 100,000 students.
