The city is located along the Paraguay River. The name of the city pays homage to the Argentine writer Juan Bautista Alberdi, who voiced his sympathy and support towards Paraguay during the Paraguayan War.

Most of the city is part of the region of the Lake Ypoá, with rich ecology and beautiful landscapes, where there are many estuaries, streams and rivers that contribute to a cool and humid climate. Being at the Argentina–Paraguay border, a popular characteristic of the city is its commerce with the Argentine capital city of Formosa, which sits across the river. It is considered that, due to the intense commercial movement it has, it is seen as important as the biggest Paraguayan urban centers like the cities of Encarnación or Fernando de la Mora. Due to its proximity to Formosa, during certain times of the year, a large number of Argentines from that city flow to the Paraguayan city of Alberdi to purchase various merchandise, mainly clothes, because of their marked difference with Argentine prices. In many articles, mainly those of Chinese origin, the prices are only a quarter of what is paid in Argentina, being of the same quality and brands. Many small business owners in nearby Argentine provinces visit Alberdi once or several times a year, to supply their businesses; being the main visits from the Argentine cities of Corrientes, Resistencia, Clorinda and Reconquista. The Villeta–Alberdi–Pilar Route passes by the city of Alberdi, which connects Asunción to the southern part of Paraguay.
