Montevideo's Rambla is a 22-kilometer long avenue that runs along the coast of the Río de la Plata in the Uruguayan capital. In addition to being a key thoroughfare for vehicular traffic, it also serves as a very busy pedestrian walkway. Along its route, there are several outstanding beaches, such as Ramírez (Parque Rodó), Pocitos, Buceo, Malvín and Carrasco.

The landscape of the promenade is varied thanks to geographical features such as Punta de las Carretas and Isla de las Gaviotas. On weekends, it is a meeting point for people of all ages looking for outdoor recreation. In certain stretches, especially in the Rambla Sur, it is an ideal place for sport fishing. It also has spaces for nautical activities, such as the yacht moorings in Punta Carretas and the Puerto del Buceo. In addition, it is a place frequented by soccer, cycling and skateboarding fans, as well as by those who enjoy bird watching.

Formerly, Montevideo's promenade was known as "Rambla Naciones Unidas" (United Nations Promenade). However, nowadays its name varies according to the stretch and the neighborhood where it is located. Some of the names it receives along its route are Rambla José Gurvich in Villa del Cerro, Rambla Baltasar Brum in Bahía de Montevideo, Capurro and Bella Vista, Rambla Edison in Bella Vista, Rambla Sud América in Aguada, Rambla Franklin D. Roosevelt and Rambla 25 de agosto de 1825 in Ciudad Vieja, Rambla República de Francia and Rambla Gran Bretaña in Barrio Sur and Palermo, Rambla Presidente Wilson in Parque Rodó, Rambla Mahatma Gandhi in Punta Carretas, Rambla República del Perú in Pocitos, Rambla Armenia and Rambla República de Chile in Buceo, Rambla O'Higgins in Malvín, Rambla República de México in Punta Gorda and Rambla Tomás Berreta in Carrasco. From Carrasco, the promenade continues in the department of Canelones with the name of Rambla Costanera, extending to El Pinar.

The section known as Rambla Sur was built between 1923 and 1935 in the neighborhood of the same name. Its development radically transformed the urban geography of the city, gaining from the sea approximately 40 blocks, which today are located between the streets Jackson, Isla de Flores, Barrios Amorín and the promenade. Before its construction, there were two beaches in this area: Santa Ana, located between Jackson and Lorenzo Carnelli streets, and Patricios, between Lorenzo Carnelli and Barrios Amorín. These beaches disappeared with urban expansion, as did the neighborhood known as El Bajo, a degraded area at that time. Nowadays, the Rambla Sur is a vital access road to Downtown and Ciudad Vieja.

Considered a fundamental part of Montevideo's identity, the Rambla has been declared a Historic Monument and, since 2010, has been proposed to be part of UNESCO's World Heritage Site.
