Riverside birthplace of the flag (and Messi)
A relaxed, elegant river city on the Paraná — grand Belle Époque architecture, a huge flag monument, leafy parks, riverbeaches and islands, and the hometown of Lionel Messi.




Walkable riverfront and centre; buses and bikes.
Take a boat to the Paraná river islands for sandy beaches right across from the city.
Generally safe — exercise normal travel awareness.
Riverside bars and the Pichincha district.
