The first thing to do in Rosario is take a stroll down the Cordoba foot mall, through Plaza 25 de Mayo and onward toward the Monumento Nacional de la Bandera, which is an impressive sight and offers plenty to do.

The massive 70 meter tall monument primarily commemorates General Manuel Belgrano who is accredited with creating the Argentine flag. The massive tower stands on the exact spot where the first Argentine flag was raised and is a source of great pride for many Argentineans. 

Below the tower is a museum celebrating the "flags of the Americas" where flags from nearly every country of the American continents, from Canada to Chile are displayed. Don't forget to head to the top of the tower for the views during the day, but the monument itself is most impressive by night when it is bathed in blue lights and looks like a massive replica of the flag.
