The shape of it

About

Uruguay's paid public holiday on 25 December is officially listed as Navidad or Día de la Familia. Many visitor services may reduce hours, but each business and transport operator decides its own practical timetable.

Highlights

  • Fixed paid public holiday
  • Summer holiday season
  • Reduced services are possible

Plan it well

  1. Pre-book a Christmas Day meal.
  2. Confirm intercity buses and ferries.
  3. Buy essentials before the holiday rather than assuming normal retail hours.
