To move within the city, the municipality has a public transport system with buses and bicycles that works with a local rechargeable card. In addition, a Tourist Bus was recently added that, in the style of the great tourist capitals of the world, has convertible cars with audio guides and that travels in two hours about 40 kilometers, of which 15 are along the river and offers tourists a complete panorama of the city.
Ticket prices range from 700 pesos for resident children to 1,200 for adults, while for foreigners the rate ranges from 2,000 to 3,600 pesos.
For tourists who like to organize their trips with the help of technology, there is a free cell phone application: Rosario Tur, which provides access to interactive maps and thematic circuits, with interviews, images and curious data of the most endearing characters of the city.
Rosario has three 5-star hotels and multiple less luxurious but very good service options in the city center that have a minimum rate of about 5,500 pesos, with an average of 7,000 for a triple room per night. For its part, the rental of an apartment with capacity for three people, has an average value of 6,500 pesos per night.
The city developed two great gastronomic poles: one along Pellegrini Avenue with options for all budgets; and the second that is located in the mythical neighborhood of Pichincha, comprised of Tucumán, Suipacha, Francia and el Río streets; with a busy nightlife in bars and restaurants filled with young people.
During the day, Pichincha is ideal for eating in old bodegones, drinking a Bitter Worker, a local drink similar to Fernet; visit antique dealers and walk to learn about its past related to cabarets, prostitution and Polish gangsters who had settled in the city at the end of the 19th century and that earned it the nickname “La Chicago Argentina”.
As a result of the pandemic, the nightlife offer has added in recent months new outdoor gastronomic walks also called “Food parks”, where you can enjoy food and drinks from well-known local restaurants in a fast food version in a relaxed environment. .
In all the bars and restaurants you can try the typical sandwich known as Carlitos, which was initially a toasted breadcrumb to which ketchup sauce was added and which mutated into multiple combinations, each one more unusual than the other.
However, the most popular dish is river fish such as dorado, boga or surubí, generally prepared on the grill, which is always best enjoyed in restaurants along the Paraná.
During the hot season, the immense Paraná river is full of life, and visitors can access a free spa with a beach area escorted by bars that include the area of Av. Costanera between Mirador Ricardo Núñez and Avenida Puccio.
Continuing along the riverside promenade, you reach the La Florida resort, which covers the area of Av. Costanera between Mirador Ricardo Núñez and Escauriza, a concession beach that opens every day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. with a fixed rate.
From its North pier, boats leave for the area of islands where you can sunbathe, swim and practice other water sports such as kayaking, kitesurfing and rowing.
Another option is to cross from the center, leaving from the Nueva Estación Fluvial, to the zone of islands located in front of the Monumento a la Bandera, where the inns on the islands offer food and drinks for prices ranging from 700 pesos for a sandwich or a salad, and 500 for a cool drink.
Recognized for being the city with the most green spaces per inhabitant in the country, you can see the parks full at all hours with people exercising early, children playing in the afternoon, and young people having picnics until late at night in summer.
The largest is Parque de la Independencia, a true green lung with a lake that can be navigated with small pedal or motor boats.
On the waterfront, at the height of the center, Parque España stands out and its emblematic steps allow a great panoramic view of the river and the islands, while in the northwest area El Bosque de los Constituentes is located, with paths between groves and games for boys in an area of 300 hectares.
Sport appears as a great attraction for visitors with two great clubs from the first division of Argentine soccer, Rosario Central and Newell’s Old Boys, whose stadiums “El Gigante de Arroyito” and the Marcelo Bielsa Stadium, also known as “El Colossus of the Park”, can be seen on guided tours.
To this is added the Santafesino Sports Museum, one of the most modern in the country at an architectural level that shows the sports history of the province through innovative techniques that captivate visitors.
This city saw the birth of the idol of world football, Lionel Messi, which is why it proposes a route that recovers the spaces that marked “La Pulga” in his development as a person and as a sports professional with 12 points that go from the hospital where he was born and the paddock where he scored his first goals, until his time at the Newell’s club and the place where he married Antonela Roccuzzo.
Another world-renowned figure born in Rosario is Ernesto “Che” Guevara, who is remembered with a tour of the places he passed through and that today are the starting point of “Los camino del Che”, which unites the places that were the scene from different moments of his life.
Among the multiple artistic proposals, the Juan B. Castagnino Municipal Museum of Fine Arts stands out for having a permanent collection of highly representative works of the history of Argentine art from the precursors to the present day, with an emphasis on artists from Rosario; and another selection of European painting from the 15th to the 20th century, with free admission from Tuesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
A visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art is also recommended, which has more than 300 works and installations scattered in its building located inside the old Davis silos, formerly used for grain storage along the river, which gives it a striking building structure. , in line with the exhibited works and that on its exterior there is a work by the renowned Argentine artist, Marta Minujín.
Meanwhile, the Children’s Museum recreates a city where children from 3 to 12 years old can play among baseball players, cars and foam rubber buildings.
Another proposal is La Isla de los Inventos, open from Friday to Sunday and holidays from 2 to 7 p.m., with a ticket of 70 pesos that allows you to enter different rooms or workshops where children will learn interactively while experimenting and playing.
Rosario also presents a wide variety of shows and events for the whole family with well-known theaters such as El Círculo, noted for the acoustic condition of its main hall as one of the best in the world.
