Short answer
For a first visit, pair the Casa de la Independencia and Manzana de la Rivera in the historic center with a walk along the Costanera. On another afternoon, Museo del Barro brings together Indigenous, folk and contemporary art. The first 2 sites list free admission; the museum publishes day-specific hours and prices. We checked the sources on September 26, 2026.
Start at the Casa de la Independencia
The house stands at 14 de Mayo and Presidente Franco. SENATUR describes its colonial rooms and objects linked to Paraguay’s independence, and lists free admission. Its listing gives no opening hours, so check them before visiting.
Continue to Manzana de la Rivera
This historic-center cultural complex has restored buildings, exhibitions and municipal spaces. SENATUR lists free admission, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. Check the program if you want to see a particular exhibition.
Walk along the Costanera
The Costanera follows the Paraguay River and has paths for walking and cycling, according to SENATUR. It can fit into the same day as the historic center. Events and access to specific sections may change; check current conditions before going.
Set aside another afternoon for Museo del Barro
At Grabadores del Cabichuí 2716, the museum presents Indigenous, folk and contemporary art. Its website lists Tuesday to Saturday hours of 2 to 8 p.m. General admission is ₲50,000 Tuesday through Thursday and free on Friday and Saturday. Recheck hours and prices before leaving.
