Asunción is the capital and largest city of Paraguay. The Spanish word asunción means assumption in English. It refers to the Assumption of Mary; the full name means The Very Noble and Loyal City of Our Lady Saint Mary of the Assumption. The "Ciudad de Asunción" is an autonomous capital district not part of any department.
The city of Asuncion is home to a little more than 500,000 people. It is a young city: 65% of its residents are under the age of 30. From Saturday in the evening and all Sunday most businesses are closed and the city centre can appear fairly deserted.
We approached Trip Designs with a plan to travel to four European countries that required a quite extensive itinerary – connecting flights to several European destinations, hotel reservations for all destinations and transportation. And Trip Designs made it all happen. Everything ran like clockwork, even when one flight was changed. They made all the necessary arrangements to keep our vacation time on track. They even secured coach class seats with more legroom than most passengers. With this kind of outstanding customer service, efficiency and professionalism, we will use them for all our travel needs - forever!
