Loma San Jerónimo

Asunción, Paraguay

About Loma San Jerónimo

One of Asunción's oldest neighbourhoods, on a hill near the port, declared the city's first tourist barrio in 2013. Its narrow stairways and alleys are lined with brightly painted houses, murals and small bars. Visit in daytime or on a local guided walk, as it's still a working-class residential area.

Palacio de los López

The 19th-century presidential palace facing the bay, built for the López family and now the seat of government, most striking when floodlit at night. You can admire it from the gardens and the waterfront; guided visits are sometimes offered on special dates. Walk to the nearby Panteón de los Héroes and the old centre.
