Things to Do in Rosario
With our travel insurance, you can travel with peace of mind and focus solely on unwinding and enjoying your holiday. Don't let anything spoil your trip!
Rosario has several hidden treasures. One of them is a very popular place that holds over a century of history within. Not many of the citizens are aware of its value, and of course they ignore its key role for the development of the metropolis. And most importantly, trees... our external lungs, that lovingly and silently help us continue our daily lives in the middle of this smog and noise paradise. I know quite a lot about my green friends, so we'll be visiting them for a change 😉
This park is one of the favourite places for locals to meet and have some "mates" with friends. There are also museums within, so art becomes part of this experience as well. If you love nature, art and history, I can show you the best way to discover that perfect mixture Rosario has to offer.

Tour of the Historic Center of Rosario and the National Flag Monument. We try to avoid any history you might find on Wikipedia. For this reason, we have searched and investigated anecdotes, places, and secrets that even most locals from Rosario wouldn't know. The walk lasts approximately 2 hours. We meet at 10:00 am on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. We depart from Maipú and Urquiza, next to the stairs of the former Customs House of Rosario.
Origin of the City, Monument to the Flag, Plaza 25 de Mayo, and Parque Urquiza (BANUR).
