5 Specialty Museums in Asuncion That You Shouldn't Miss
The "Mother of Cities" was founded in 1537, and declared independence from Spain in 1811. The charming historic section can be explored on foot. The friendly Paraguayan capital, gateway to the grassy Gran Chaco region, has long been a center of music, poetry and the arts, but only in recent years has Asunción been able to escape its long history of dictatorship rule. Sites to visit include Panteon Nacional de los Heroes, Casa de la Independencia and Catedral de Nuestra Senora de Asuncion.

The history of railroads in Paraguay is very interesting, and this small museum captures the flavor of its times. Definitely worth a visit if you're in downtown Asuncion and have any interest in railroads, or even if you don't

The building held the legislative chamber during the dictatorship. We sat in the seats as our guide talked about life at that time. There was also a small but interesting museum relating to immigration to the country. A statue of the Spanish 'founder' of the city is in front of the building.
