What to see in Asunción

1. Palais des López
   This neoclassical palace with Palladian touches stands facing the bay of Asunción and is both the seat of power and one of the city's best-known landmarks.
2. Panthéon national des Héros
   This small domed building, reminiscent of Les Invalides in Paris, holds the remains of key figures in Paraguayan history.
3. Costanera (front de fleuve)
   The Costanera runs along the Paraguay River and opens the city onto its water, with the flat line of the Chaco on the far bank.
4. Mercado 4
   This is Asunción's big working market, a maze of aisles where locals still do their everyday shopping.
5. Loma San Jerónimo
   This hillside neighbourhood overlooks the bay of Asunción, a short walk from the historic centre.
6. Musée du Barro
   This museum brings together three worlds that are usually kept apart: indigenous art, folk art and contemporary Paraguayan art.
7. Jardin botanique & zoo
   This large park of old trees, set on a former estate of the López family, gives Asunción a real green pause in the middle of the city.
8. Manzana de la Rivera
   This block of old houses in Asunción's historic center has been restored to hold exhibition rooms, a library, a theater and a café.
