Getting Around

Asuncion's public transport is chaotic by most standards — a fleet of private buses with overlapping routes and no reliable schedule. For visitors, the practical options are taxis (cheap and widely available) and app-based services like Uber, which operates here. The historic centre is walkable if you are prepared for the heat. Traffic is heavy and driving habits are assertive; walking across multi-lane roads requires attention. A taxi from the airport to the centre takes around 20–30 minutes depending on traffic.
