Things to do in Asunción
Asunción is South America's quiet capital: the Costanera sunsets, the colonial streets, the markets, the tereré culture. Underrated, authentic, and refreshingly un-touristy.
Photos for Asunción are still on their way. Every listing below is real.
The waterfront and the heroes
Panteón Nacional & Plaza de los Héroes
The national pantheon: the heroes' tombs, the changing of the guard. The civic heart.
Old Asunción
Casa de la Independencia
The 1811 independence house: the colonial rooms, the history. The essential museum.
Mercado 4
The great market: four blocks of chaos - food stalls, fabrics, the real city. Go hungry, watch your pockets.
Green
Jardín Botánico
The botanical gardens: the green escape, the zoo, the shade. The Sunday family scene.
