Rosario is a city in Santa Fe province, Argentina.

[edit] Understand

The third most populated city of the country, Rosario is gradually becoming a tourism spot.

[edit] Get in

[edit] By plane

There are daily flights (50 min) from Buenos Aires Aeroparque Airport, although still the more convenient way to get into the city by is to hire transport at EZE Airport. It is a four hour trip. There are also flights from/to Brazil and Uruguay.

[edit] By train

There are two trains daily to and from Buenos Aires, although the rail condition is not very good. The trains take six hours and the price difference compared with taking a bus is not worth it. Also consider that in Argentina it is common for shantytowns to be established on old fiscal land which belonged to the national railway company.

[edit] By car

Two freeways connect Rosario with Buenos Aires and Santa Fe (and soon to Cordoba), although there is a part st locals take the bus, a remisse (a private Taxi service), or hail one of the many taxis roaming the area.

[edit] By bus

The most convenient way of travelling in Argentina. There are many buses departing daily from the Rosario bus station to almost every city in the country. It is also possible to travel by bus to southern Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Bolivia.

• Monumento a la Bandera (Argentina Flag Memorial)
• the house where "El Che" was born (Urquiza St. and Entre Rios St.)
• La Cancha de Ñuls - the stadium where Newell's Old Boys practice and play (only club members are allowed inside the stadium, but its great for a photo op)

[edit][add listing] Do

Go to the beach down by the river. There are many bars and restaurants along the beach and this is where everyone heads on a hot day to have a swim and a drink and soak up the rays. You can get a bus to the beach area from town.

[edit][add listing] Buy

American travelers might be surprised to see that many of the goods sold in “el centro” (Rosario's central shopping area), are much like that in any mall. Goods that might interest travelers, however, are the leather handbags, wallets, belts, and accessories. A must-see shop in that area is Raices, the perfect shop to pick up a purse or maite set.

Also note that, although the currency difference, apparel, shoes, handbags, etc. are not that much cheaper than in the United States. If you're looking for a bargain, stick to the street vendors and artisans posted up around El Centro and the park surrounding the Argentine Flag Monument.

A great store not found in Buenos Aires (possibly anywhere in Argentina) is called Underworld. It is found in a number of locations in Rosario and stocks different and interesting t-shirts and other funky clothes and accessories for girls.

[edit][add listing] Eat

[edit] Budget

Try the "Rincon" Vegetarian restaurant (Mitre St. between Córdoba St. and Santa Fe St.). For $AR 11 you get an all you can eat buffet with all sorts of innovative vegetarian goodies. Good if you want a break from steak.

[edit] Mid-range

[edit] Splurge

When dining out at the local hot spots and eateries, make sure to make a reservation. Much like the U.S. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are busy nights and you'll need a reservation to get through the doors.

Recommendation for a great asado, empanadas and wine dinner: "La Estancia" (Av. Pellegrini and España St.).

[edit][add listing] Drink

Rosario is known for having big nightclub nights all week long. Ask around to find out where the hip place is for the night you want to go out and don't plan to be home until the morning. It is also famous for having a disproportionately large woman/man ratio (more women)!
