Rosario Travel Guide

The National Flag Memorial stands on the Paraná riverfront in Rosario, marking where General Manuel Belgrano first raised the Argentine flag in 1812. Designed by architect Ángel Guido, its tower, cloisters and riverfront plaza form a solemn memorial ensemble, with the flag's history displayed in underground halls. A symbol of Argentine national identity, it hosts flag-raising ceremonies and national celebrations year round, and is Rosario's weightiest historic landmark and city viewpoint. The riverfront walk links the old town and docks; an evening stroll best reveals this port city's calm.

The Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes Juan B. Castagnino is Rosario's most important art museum, holding 19th–20th-century Argentine painting and sculpture from impressionism and realism to the avant-garde. The elegant building sits in the park district of the northeast.

The Puente Rosario-Victoria spans the Paraná River, linking Rosario (Santa Fe) with Victoria (Entre Ríos) over a total length of about 60 km including approaches; it opened in 2003. The elegant cable-stayed main span is one of Argentina's most important river crossings and a superb spot to watch the sunset over the Paraná.
