Casa Clari
Really nice views of the López Palace. Good food/drink menu, but slightly pricier than other bars in the centre.

National Congress of Paraguay
Palacio Legislativo
One of the more impressive new buildings in the city. It was built in 2002 with a US$20 million donation from the Republic of China (Taiwan) government. Paraguay is one of the few countries and also the only country in South America that recognizes the Republic of China (Taiwan) as opposed to mainland China (People's Republic of China). Most striking is its mirrored façade, which reflects the nearby slums along the bank of the river. You can ask for a tour in English, and maybe get one. Arrive by 13:00, so that you will be able to visit the small museum inside.

Palma Street
The main shopping street. Pretty much everything you can buy here, you can get cheaper in one of the parallel streets.
