Rosario Walking Tour

Rosario, Argentina

Why Walk Rosario

Rosario sits on a high bluff above the Parana River, and its revitalized waterfront has transformed the city into one of Argentina's most pleasant walking destinations. The Costanera (riverside promenade) stretches for miles past parks, beaches, and cultural venues, offering views of the vast river and its islands. The Monumento a la Bandera (Flag Monument) is a massive Art Deco tribute to the Argentine flag, which was first raised in Rosario in 1812. The Parque de la Independencia is the city's green lung, housing the Museo de Bellas Artes and a rose garden. The pedestrianized Calle Cordoba in the commercial center provides lively walking, and the Mercado del Patio in the Pichincha neighborhood has turned a former train station into a food and artisan market. Rosario's gastronomy scene punches well above its weight, and the city has an energetic nightlife fueled by its large university student population.
