Paraná is a city in the Entre Rios province of Argentina. It seems a bit overshadowed by Santa Fe on the other side of the Paraná River, with not a terribly grandiose spread of big attractions.

This would probably have to be Paraná's crown jewel, as everyone seems to gravitate here, with its costanera (waterfront pathway) and overlooks along the Paraná River. A good place for jogging or just taking in the sights of the big muddy, or river.

known colloquially as Casa Gris
Baroque/Renaissance government house from the 19th century.
