About Rosario

Rosario is Argentina's third-largest city and the birthplace of Lionel Messi, Che Guevara, and the Argentine flag. The vibrant metropolis on the Río Paraná — the second-longest river in South America — offers a fascinating mix of river culture, street art, culinary scene, and a nightlife that rivals even Buenos Aires. The Monumento a la Bandera — an impressive monument on the riverbank — marks the spot where the Argentine flag was first raised in 1812. The Parque de España and the renovated Costanera stretch for kilometers along the Paraná and transform in the evening into one of Argentina's best sunset spots. The islands in the Paraná Delta opposite the city are a green paradise: accessible by boat, they offer sandy beaches, barbecues by the river, and natural pools — Rosario's own tropical getaway. In summer, tens of thousands flock to the islands. Rosario's street art scene is among the best in Latin America. The Barrio Pichincha and Barrio Refinería are filled with murals, cultural centers, and independent galleries. The Museo de la Memoria — dedicated to the disappeared of the military dictatorship — is one of the most moving human rights museums on the continent.
