Bask in the sunshine in Independence Square, which is surrounded by a mix of palms, poplars, pines and flower beds. Relax in the shade of the leafy trees and admire the large central fountain. Watch lively street shows that take place in the square on weekends and buy souvenirs from local craftspeople. Independence Square is the biggest and most important square in Mendoza city. It was founded in 1861 to mark the center of the new city after Mendoza had been destroyed by an earthquake. Four smaller public squares are located diagonally from each of the four corners of Independence Square, like the five pattern in a game of dice. The square is a great place to start your visit to Mendoza, as many of the city’s major attractions are located here. Take a tour of the Municipal Museum of Modern Art to see some of the country’s best artworks or pay to light a candle at the Cuyo Shrine in the Basilica de San Francisco. People-watching is another popular activity. Marvel at the musicians, magicians and comedians that entertain the crowds on weekends or simply sit on a bench beneath the shade of a tree and watch the locals going about their business. Visit on the weekend to attend one of the craft markets and haggle with local vendors for pottery, jewelry and specialty foods. Take a stroll through Independence Square in the evening to see the plaza illuminated by ornamental lamps. Look for the large coat of arms of the city that is made out of lights. Stop for a typical Argentine meal of beef and wine at one of the many cafés or enjoy a drink in a local bar. Independence Square is located in the center of Mendoza, convenient to cultural and shopping attractions. This lovely and lively green space should be part of any visitor’s itinerary. ### Tours & day trips [See all 136 activities](https://expedia.ca/things-to-do/search?&rid=6096710&location=Independence+Square&filter.categories=ToursDayTrips) ![Half Day Winery Tour](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/2875477/446dc059-2d85-4e07-bd86-a98666d42868.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Half Day Winery Tour 6h 9.2/10 157 Viator reviews Free cancellation available CA $48 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.ca/things-to-do/half-day-winery-tour.a2875477.activity-details?&rid=6096710&location=Independence+Square&swp=off) ![Termas de Cacheuta: An Oasis of Relaxation in the Andes](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/46741684/5feccb03-e202-4910-92f4-b7476f1a1b40.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Termas de Cacheuta: An Oasis of Relaxation in the Andes 9h 10/10 2 verified reviews CA $265 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.ca/things-to-do/cacheuta-thermal-spa-day-in-front-the-mendoza-river.a46741684.activity-details?&rid=6096710&location=Independence+Square&swp=off) ![Mendoza: Sunset Horse Back Riding in the Mountains and BBQ](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/48318034/65829206-c760-42d4-8083-c2bde64b0448.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Mendoza: Sunset Horse Back Riding in the Mountains and BBQ 8h 9.8/10 90 GetYourGuide reviews Free cancellation available CA $164 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.ca/things-to-do/mendoza-sunset-horse-back-riding-in-the-mountains-and-bbq.a48318034.activity-details?&rid=6096710&location=Independence+Square&swp=off) ![Andes Day Trip from Mendoza Including Aconcagua, Uspallata and Puente del I...](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/1142251/ba7481a1-251a-423e-96b2-92861976bead.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Andes Day Trip from Mendoza Including Aconcagua, Uspallata and Puente del I... 12h 8.4/10 134 Viator reviews Free cancellation available CA $107 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.ca/things-to-do/andes-day-trip-from-mendoza-including-aconcagua-uspallata-and-puente-del-inca.a1142251.activity-details?&rid=6096710&location=Independence+Square&swp=off) ![Excursión de 3 bodegas y 1 olivícola con degustación](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/44899251/075f166e-ad6c-4499-bfb9-3f44a7122386.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Excursión de 3 bodegas y 1 olivícola con degustación 6h 9.6/10 8 Viator reviews Free cancellation available CA $44 includes taxes & fees per adult\* \*Get lower prices by selecting more than 2 adults [](https://www.expedia.ca/things-to-do/excursion-de-3-bodegas-y-1-olivicola-con-degustacion.a44899251.activity-details?&rid=6096710&location=Independence+Square&swp=off) ![Andes High Mountain full day Tour](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/1125940/d067d6d2-2f78-4168-b375-2ec64700165f.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Andes High Mountain full day Tour 12h 9.6/10 75 Viator reviews Free cancellation available CA $89 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.ca/things-to-do/andes-high-mountain-full-day-tour.a1125940.activity-details?&rid=6096710&location=Independence+Square&swp=off) ![Tour and Tasting in 3 Wineries and 1 Olive Tree in Maipu](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/50972957/d1024ed4-5997-4365-b769-5c1f18a8e121.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Tour and Tasting in 3 Wineries and 1 Olive Tree in Maipu 7h Free cancellation available CA $48 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.ca/things-to-do/tour-and-tasting-in-3-wineries-and-1-olive-tree-in-maipu.a50972957.activity-details?&rid=6096710&location=Independence+Square&swp=off) ![Wine Trails from Mendoza](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/49907101/70f17cce-accc-4d62-8814-8ad95dc0904f.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Wine Trails from Mendoza 7h Free cancellation available CA $48 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.ca/things-to-do/wine-trails-from-mendoza.a49907101.activity-details?&rid=6096710&location=Independence+Square&swp=off) ![Mendoza Wine Tour with Lunch](https://mediaim.expedia.com/localexpert/1142277/e69071f5-9b96-4a47-95ac-7d2624a154c2.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=500&rh=280) ### Mendoza Wine Tour with Lunch 8h 9.4/10 59 Viator reviews Free cancellation available CA $308 includes taxes & fees per adult [](https://www.expedia.ca/things-to-do/mendoza-wine-tour-with-lunch.a1142277.activity-details?&rid=6096710&location=Independence+Square&swp=off) ![Mendoza's top wineries!
