Visiting Rosario

The Planetary offers weekly shows for educational institutions and for the public in general.

Surrounded by species of trees brought from everywhere of the world and typical of our zone, it forms a complex constituted by three spaces.

In a busy city like Rosario, green parks make a much needed change from the crowds. Rosario is home to a number of parks where visitors can take some time out to go for a walk just to relax. "Independencia" park  is the largest, with a lake, fountains, various gardens and food sellers. Visitors can rent a paddle boat to take out onto the lake, a perfect activity for a sunny afternoon. Also within the park here are a football stadium and history museum, as well as a fun children’s play area (Jardín de los Niños). " España" park  is by the river, which is perfect for a pleasant walk, just like " Urquiza" park .

Rosario’s Museum of Contemporary Art, also known as MACRO, is housed in a strange looking building right by the riverside. The building itself used to be a grain silo, integral to Rosario’s industrial past, and is now home to ten floors of modern artwork, primarily by young local artists. At the top of the building there is a viewing area which provides great views of the river and the city. Given Rosario’s significant young artist population, MACRO is an great opportunity for visitors to get a real feel for the city, its people and its culture. Opening hours: Wed-Mon 2 p.m. – 8 p.m .

Probably Rosario’s most recognizable landmark, the  National Monument to the Flag, was built as a memorial to the creator of the Argentinian flag, Manuel Belgrano. The flag was first revealed by Belgrano on an island in the Paraná river, just off the shores of Rosario, in 1812, and underneath the monument lies his tomb. The memorial;is not only an important historical attraction, but it is also a spot for fantastic panoramic views of the city. The tower section of the monument is open to visitors who wish to climb to the top and look out over Rosario.
