San Lorenzo
About 250 thousand people.
San Lorenzo is a lively city right next to Asuncion and part of its greater metro area. It is known as a center for learning, with one of the country's main universities.
You can visit its pretty neo-Gothic church in the main square, browse the big open-air markets, and enjoy the friendly, busy student atmosphere. It is a great place to feel the everyday life of Paraguay.
