rosario

I wouldn't say that Rosario is a destination in itself because there is not much to do here. The city is quiet and quaint with many parks and places to walk/run. There is a pedestrian area for shopping, and some lovely boulevards too. If you want to break up long bus rides then this is a good place to stop and relax for a day or two but I would skip it if your trip to Argentina is short.

The architecture looked similar to Buenos Aires, just a bit more rundown and graffitied. The Parana River was wide and impressive, but not exactly stunning. The flag monument was great, but the people weren't always the friendliest. Also, beware of the drivers when crossing the street. They don't stop for anyone!

Lovely architecture in many of the old buildings. Take time to enjoy the details. Worth visiting the Monumento a la Bandera down by the river. Great parks, museums, restaurants and shopping for every budget.

We spent 4 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. There is plenty to do and lots to see and some fine restaurants and a long long walk along the wide muddy river.

We spent a couple of days here on our way from Bolivia to Montevideo in Uruguay. It’s quite a pleasant town of one million people with lots of parks, a long riverside boardwalk with some trendy cafes and restaurants, and several pedestrian mall streets with some beautiful old colonial buildings. We stayed at the Hotel de la Cite on San Martin right in the centre, which I highly recommend. Shopping is cheap here, particularly when compared to Uruguay. The highlight for me was the coliseum style memorial of the Bandera, where the victims of Argentinas ‘70s holocaust are buried.If you are there on a Sunday, you can expect the whole town to be closed and in shutters.

Rosario still retains many of its old Architecture, has lots of lovely parks and squares and is relatively clean compared to other cities in Argentina. The riverside has been redeveloped with restaurants, parks and a modern art museum.The city has museums, art galleries, theatres and restaurants and a fantastic shopping area. We really loved the chilled out and relaxed atmosphere of this city.

Rosario is the kind of city that you go just to visit for a day or two and want to stay there forever. There is always something new to see and do. Great parks, monuments, theatres and museums. The city is well known for the "Monumento a la Bandera" (Flag monument) but it is so much more than that. The river walk area is full with parks, cafes and great restaurants, whether you are looking for a great asado (Grilled meats) or grilled fish from the local fisheries. Just strolling by the river is invigorating. I love "La Florida" (River beach) and all it neighborhoods and bars. The architecture is typical European with great avenues and boulevards lined with trees and walking areas, some exclusive to people on foot (Peatonal). If you are visiting Rosario plan to spend at least 4 days here to be able to take it all in. The "Teatro el Circulo" (Grand theatre) is a must see if there is production been shown at the time of your visit, it will remind you of the grand theatres of Europe. There is always something going on in Rosario, I was there in December for the Dakar Rally and the city was an incredible host.

Rosario is a nice little version of Buenos Aires - it has most of the experience without the maddening crowds- the riverfront is being nicely developed into a public arts precinct with some fantastic restaurants- it also has the flag monument and the house of Che Gueverra - was advised by most Argentinian relatives that 48 hours would be plenty- but after 4 days was still discovering much in this city

Pretty river front walk and pleasant streets. Shame the city is a grid patter makes for boring walking but plenty of good shops.

Rosario city offers a wide array of options to suit all tastes. From its scenic Parana coastline, with its historic monument, now also flourishing with modern buildings and restaurants , to its traditional Boulevard Orono and its numerous pedestrian streets. All areas of Argentine culture can be found somewhere. Rosario is, no doubt, a city one cannot miss.

This great bustling little city is really nice and relaxed. It has monuments, memorials, museums and galleries. It has cafes, restaurants, bars and some great cultural spaces. The high delta of the Prana is a boat tour away (less than 2 km is some pretty wild back waters with caiman, birds and otters, etc). Loved Rosario - nice shopping and friendly people.

After three months in Buenos Aires Rosario was a great break away! It is very European (more so than BA) and I had a great afternoon wandering around town and looking at some sights (the flag monument, the house where Che Guevara was born, the waterfront). I only had the one day here as I was travelling solo but I think I could have stayed two days if I had been with friends.

Just like Buenos Aires but on a smaller scale. Everything downtown is accessible within a short walk. You have the flag monument, Parque Indepencia with the grounds of Newell's Old Boys FC, and the majestic Stock Exchange on the corner of Cordoba and Corrientes streets. Not to be missed if you adventure inland from Buenos Aires. Fantastic architecture throughout the city.

Far from big Latin cities noise, still have the charm of 19th century architecure. You can easily walk downtown, Rosario is an easy and safe city to visit. Plenty of restaurants, libraries and cultural places to enjoy.

Es un circuito de calles liberadas de tránsito vehicular, controlado por personal municipal, que se establece los domingos por la mañana por varias arterias principales de la ciudad, parte del Monumento Nacional a la Bandera, frente al Río Paraná, recorre la zona del Parque España, pasando por los Silos Davis , Puerto Norte y llegando a Alberdi, también toma Boulevard Oroño , 27 de Febrero y otras. Se puede caminar, trotar, ir en bici o rollers, llevar a los chicos . Desayunar en algunos de los tantos bares de la zona o simplemente llevarse el mate y porque no unas facturas .Hay puestos sanitarios. Muy saludable y para tratar de mantenerse en forma...Lo recomiendo.
