Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Asunción

7 stays · 6 aparthotels and 1 serviced apartments

Aparthotels and serviced apartments suit Asunción because a kitchen and separate living space help when you are working or settling in. Wikivoyage describes the city as the capital and largest city of Paraguay, says the majority of visitors are businesspeople from neighbouring Latin American countries, and notes that tourism is visible in the Business District and Villa Morra neighbourhoods, where new shops, bars and restaurants have opened.

Where to stay in Asunción

Historic centre

  • first-time visitors
  • sightseeing
  • walking

Wikivoyage says the historic core lies essentially between the streets Colón and Antequera and is small enough to explore on foot. It places the Metropolitan Cathedral next to Plaza de la Independencia, with the Casa de la Independencia, the Teatro Municipal and the Centro Cultural El Cabildo within the same area.

Villa Morra

  • business travel
  • restaurants
  • shopping

Wikivoyage names Villa Morra and the Business District as where new hotels, shops, bars and restaurants have grown, and Wikipedia says Mariscal López Avenue passes through Villa Morra and the old town. Wikivoyage lists city bus routes from the Oliva stop in the centre to the shopping centres at Villa Morra.

Carmelitas

  • shopping
  • nightlife

Wikivoyage says the Carmelitas area has become a hub for retail and entertainment, with several large shopping centres and North American-style bars and restaurants. It lies on the avenue that Wikivoyage describes as running north from the bus terminal to Villa Morra, Carmelitas, the Business District and the airport.

Getting around Asunción

Wikivoyage says Silvio Pettirossi International Airport is 17 km north-east of Asunción. A city bus runs from the centre to the airport, but the guide notes local buses do not run overnight, when many flights arrive. Taxis serve the airport, and car rental is available on the arrivals floor. The long-distance bus terminal is about 5 km south-east of the centre and is reached by taxi or city bus.

In the centre, Wikivoyage says walking is enough for most sights, with buses going more or less everywhere else. It lists city bus routes from the Oliva stop to the Botanical Gardens and the bus terminal. Taxis are available, and the same guide warns that traffic is heavy at weekday rush hours.

Living in Asunción for longer

Wikivoyage says the city is officially bilingual in Spanish and Guaraní and that English is not widely spoken outside hotels and tour operators, so basic Spanish helps. It adds that commercial activity in the city centre closes from Saturday afternoon to all of Sunday, and that the shopping centres are useful places to eat on Sunday evenings. Wikivoyage also describes Ñu Guazu as the city's biggest park, with ponds and people playing sports, and suggests it for a day out or a picnic.

When to visit Asunción

Wikipedia classes Asunción's climate as humid subtropical, with very hot, humid summers averaging 28 °C in January and mild winters averaging 17 °C in July. Wikivoyage says that between November and March the temperature can consistently climb above 38 °C with high humidity, and that rain can be heavy.

Wikivoyage adds that the weather changes frequently from one week to another, and that it can be very dry when the rains hold off for just a few days. It also says that from July to September the city is drenched in the pink and yellow bloom of lapacho trees.

The same guide describes an authentic Latin American city that preserves interesting sights and monuments from its colonial past. For the wider country, see the Paraguay page, and for the format, what is an aparthotel.
