🇦🇷 Rosario Citywalk

🇦🇷 Rosario: A Solo Adventure in Messi's Hometown ⚠️ Bold Beginnings Docked just 4km from downtown, I ventured out alone—despite stern warnings about nearby slums. Port guards urged: "Take a taxi, don’t walk!" 🚖💨 🌉 Close Call at the Bridge Near Messi’s childhood home (just 2km away—but in a risky area!), taxi drivers refused to go. Language barriers + safety concerns = straight to the city center! 🗺️🚷 🌟 Top Sights 1️⃣ National Flag Memorial & City Hall 🏛️🇦🇷 Where Argentina’s first flag flew—history pulses here! 2️⃣ Giant Messi Mural 🎨⚽ Southwest of the memorial, a must for football fans. 3️⃣ Riverside Park 🌳🚶‍♂️ Perfect for lazy afternoons by the Paraná River. 4️⃣ Contemporary Art Museum 🏗️🎨 Industrial chic in repurposed port silos. 5️⃣ People’s Memorial Center ⛲ Poignant tribute beside a leafy park. 6️⃣ Messi’s Childhood Home 🏠⚽ For superfans only—sketchy area, bring friends! 7️⃣ Alto Shopping Mall 🛍️ Bargain alert: Cheaper than Buenos Aires! 🌧️ Vibe Check Rosario felt like a rainy European cousin of Buenos Aires—same grid streets, same colonial charm, but quieter. The drizzle added a moody, cinematic touch. 🎬☔ #Rosario #Argentina #SoloTravel #MessiHometown #UrbanExplorer ✈️🌎
