When to visit

The best time to visit Asunción is during the dry season, which runs from May to September. During this time, the weather is mild and pleasant, making it ideal for exploring the city and its attractions. However, if you prefer a more festive atmosphere, consider visiting during the Carnival season in February when the city comes alive with colorful parades and celebrations.

Getting around

Getting around Asunción is relatively easy with options such as taxis, buses, and rental cars available. Taxis are a convenient way to travel within the city, while buses are a budget-friendly option for getting around. Rental cars provide flexibility for exploring the surrounding areas and attractions outside of the city.

Traveller tips

When visiting Asunción, be sure to try the local cuisine, including traditional dishes such as chipa guasu (a corn and cheese casserole) and sopa paraguaya (a savory cornbread). It's also recommended to carry cash as many places may not accept credit cards. Be cautious of pickpockets in crowded areas and always keep your belongings secure. Learning a few basic phrases in Spanish or Guarani can help you communicate with locals and enhance your overall experience.
