Buenos Aires is the city of tango, soccer and barbecue, but it also has a great cultural and architectural level. If you plan to visit the great Argentine metropolis, we suggest these 10 essential places to discover Buenos Aires.
To learn about Argentine history, what better way than to visit the stages of the great events in the country. Starting with Plaza de Mayo, where women met to demonstrate for their rights and those of their families. In addition, the square is full of emblematic buildings such as the Cabildo, the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Casa Rosada.
During your visit to Buenos Aires, take the opportunity to visit the 70-meter Obelisk, located in the Plaza de la República. Although it can only be seen from the outside, I assure you that you will have a good souvenir postcard.
On the other hand, where you can access to visit it inside is at Teatro Colón. Located a few meters from the Obelisk, it is considered one of the best in the world for its size, acoustics and trajectory. Its room, wonderful from where you look, stands out for the dome, a true work of art made by the Argentine Raúl Soldi.
The city of Buenos Aires offers a wide variety of activities. If you walk through the streets of San Telmo, you will find a flea market full of antiques and a square where you can enjoy musical performances while having a coffee.
If you want to soak up Argentine culture, you must walk down the most famous street in the La Boca neighborhood, Caminito. Here, the artisans display their crafts while the atmosphere is breathed and tango danced.
You will find the luxury of French-style architecture in the Recoleta neighborhood. Among its imposing homes and select restaurants you will find certain locations that you must know. The Recoleta Cemetery is one of them.
With its pantheons and mausoleums decorated with statues and vaults of great architectural value, the tour of this cemetery is a mandatory visit in the city. At the exit, you will run into the Recoleta Cultural Center, an ideal place to enjoy the exhibitions that are offered according to the season or to relax in its internal patio to read a book.
And when it comes to books, the Ateneo Grand Splendid is a magical place for all lovers of reading. It is named after the old theater that used to operate there, before it was converted into a bookstore. Even so, it preserves all the details of the original theater: its curtain, the dome and even the stage, now turned into a café!
If you decide to disconnect from the city, within it you will find green spaces that will allow you to rest from the bustle of the city.
El Rosedal is ideal for boating, having a picnic or photographing nature. Very close to there you will find the Botanical Garden, a space with more than 5,000 species of plants, sculptures and a greenhouse, and in front of it is the Ecopark, another portal to biodiversity where the city zoo used to be.
Finally, the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, with more than 350 hectares covered by shrubs and lagoons, is the place chosen for those who decide to ride a bike or exercise. See you there!
