Las Perlas beach

With hotel and restaurant.

Quieter than Río Grande, it lies on an arm of the Limay river. It is recommended for families with children because the water is shallow, and has also a nice park area.

Pretty crowded at summer weekends, offers a beautiful view of the river and its islands and is bordered by a nice park. The currents are pretty strong here, although it's not dangerous if you stay near the beach.

Located in an old railway building, Gregorio Alvarez Museum features exhibitions about culture, history and science in Neuquén, with a permanent exhibition about Mapuche culture.

Built in 1923, the Government House is the largest building surviving from Neuquén's first decades. The building, typical for Argentine architecture of that time, has a clock tower, a Neo-Colonial patio and an eclectic facade that resembles a castle.

The Police Museum exhibits artifacts from police activity and history.
