Asuncion
is the capital of Paraguay and the biggest city in the country.
It is built
on hills situated on top of
the east coast of the Paraguay River. The majority of sight
seeing attractions is found inside the area known as "Microcentro" (Microcenter).
There are few colonial remains and few attempts at dividing the
zones of the city. Therefore, Asuncion has transformed
itself to a jumble of new and eclectic buildings and establishments
of illegal
occupants along the riverbanks and railroad.
One of the most historical buildings is the Government Palace,
located near the port and in front of Casa Viola, which is
one of the few surviving colonial buildings and is now a museum.
There are also excellent parks such as Jardín Botánico
and the Zoo. The Museo del Barro is the first modern art
museum of the city. The movie theaters located in the main
shopping
areas of the city are also very modern. Additionally, there
is theater and live music in the numerous cultural centers. Hostels in Asuncion |
