Currently, much of the historical section with its charming colonial buildings and plazas is near the river and is easily walkable. You should see some interesting constructions like: Panteón Nacional de los Héroes, characterized by its pink dome; Casa Viola, which was renovated and is a prime example of early colonial architecture; Casa de la Independencia, where revolutionaries met in secret to plan their battle for independence, houses relics from the 1811 revolution; Catedral Metropolitana dated from 1687 and notable for the very large gilded altar and religious art. The city also has a mild climate for most of the year except the summer months (October to March) when you should avoid touring in mid-day.
Asunción, the tourist center of Paraguay!
