Rosario is a perfect destination from a quick getaway if you are staying in Buenos Aires. As one of my best friends lives there, I have visited this city many times and I have great places to recommend!
Where to stay
Most of the times I went to Rosario, I stayed with friends. However, this last time I rented an AirBnb in the Pichincha neighborhood and I found the area really nice, full of restaurants, cafes and within walking distance from the main city attractions.

What to see
These are some of the city's main attractions:
Circuito Patrimonio
As a big fan of architecture, I found in Rosario some really beautiful buildings and, most of all, lots of domes! I've marked some of my favorites, but make sure that you look up when you walk around this area, as you will find lots of surprises.

Other monuments and nice walks
Monumento Histórico Nacional a la Bandera
@rominapol
The most important landmark in Rosario, it is very different during the day and the night so make sure you see both versions!
Details
Oroño Boulevard
@rominapol
Perfect for a nice walk from the city to the riverside.

Where to eat
Food has had a central role every time I visited Rosario. From really fancy sushi restaurants to the best barbecues with my friend's family, I have collected a list of places for each budget and taste.
Restaurants
These places are perfect for a nice lunch or a fancy dinner.
Rock&Feller's Savoy
@rominapol
This is one of the most popular places in Rosario, offering American style food, such as burgers and ribs. They have a very special music themed decoration. The Boulevard Oroño location is the most popular but also the busiest, so I suggest trying this smaller branch that has the same food and quality but shorter wait times.

Sunderland
@rominapol
It's a very nice place for medium / big groups. The steak was perfect and portions were big, so it is perfect to share!
Details
Deck Del Nautico
@rominapol
Perfect place to enjoy nice views of the river and try really good fish.
Details
Ceviche Rosario
@rominapol
No matter how much time has passed since my first visit, Ceviche's sushi is always some of the best I have ever tried!

Coffee
During my latest visits to the city, I have noticed that the offer of coffee and great pastries has notably increased. Grab your book / Kindle and try some of my favorites below:
Canela Fina
@rominapol
Perfect place for a great coffee, don't miss their ham and cheese sandwiches to go!

Heroica Panadería
@rominapol
One of my latest discovery, excellent coffee and some of the greatest pastries I have ever had. The restaurant is very cozy and their open kitchen allows you to see how they cook while you enjoy your meal. Perfect for a rainy day or as a remote work location.

Infinita Panadería
@rominapol
Beautiful place to sit outside and enjoy great coffee. They offer a big range of pastries, bread and pie.

Ruffo Coffee Co.
@rominapol
A very cozy place to enjoy really good coffee.

Ice Cream is one of the most popular local products and the city has hundreds of shops. I could only try a couple of them but I definitely recommend them

Where to shop
Alto Rosario Shopping
@rominapol
Rosario's biggest shopping mall, where you will find lots of important brands to get lost for hours!

Make sure you check the local markets for handmade crafts and local souvenirs!
Safety
In the past few years, Rosario has gained fame for being a not so safe place. However, from my experience, I can say that as long as you stay in the more touristic places and take some basic safety measures (not walking alone at night, keep an eye on your belongings, the usual!), Rosario is a pretty safe place even for female solo travelers.
