Asuncion

The capital city of Asuncion is worth a visit if you are seeking things to do in Paraguay. The Paraguay River runs through the city, and the stately López Palace, the seat of government and president's office, is located there. The National Pantheon of Heroes has a mausoleum dedicated to historical figures. The Independence House Museum displays colonial architecture as well as relics related to the country's independence from Spanish dominion.

In Asuncion, the government palace is a must-see site. This nearly 50-year-old structure is a lovely place to spend time. You should avoid making any personal requests, but the palace otherwise provides an excellent insight at modern Latin American leadership. The Palace is open to the public for photographs, but please do not come too close. You can also take in the aura of the government building when it is illuminated at night.

For art aficionados, the Government Palace is a must-see destination. Despite its small size, the palace houses a diverse collection of interesting pieces of art and is a wonderful spot to spend some time. While you are there, keep in mind that it is the city's most identifiable landmark, therefore stick to the right side of the road. It is one of Asuncion's most popular tourist attractions.
