Beautiful fishing port. Love to see the sea lions shining themselves. Nice little shopping area with great markets and restaurants.

Everything was OK only two incidents one on the beach almost got jumped by four people and then we took a guide or a taxi chauffeur and we found out later. He ripped us off large but lotta fun. Go to the SeaWorld enjoy it.

Love Mar del Plata, a beautiful place to visit and take wonderful pictures

This was a pleasant surprise to see the sea lions up so close. There were restaurants there but we didn't partake.

Beautiful spot great for that perfect picture shot. And the sea lions on point chilling.

Not the most beautiful dock I have ever been to, but still pretty nice. Located in the south part of mar del plata it can be reached by many public buses or walked along. Many old ships and history, boat trips, stores and especially the sea wolves are its main attractions. Be aware of the nasty smell though, especially on windy days!

It is a good place, quiet, with enough people if you go in high season. You must be able to withstand the smell of sea lion, it is quite strong. There are also small shops where you can sit down to eat or buy to go, they sell a lot of fish, all kinds, and other aquatic animals. If you don't like fish, there are also foods without it in the different places of fast food.

Merienda: late afternoon tea time with friends. The location is really nice as it is right next to the ocean. You have seatings inside or outside, but it could get a bit chilly when the Sun is not out. Probably much warmer in the Summer which is a few weeks away… We ordered a latte, 2 hot chocolate (submarino which is way better than the regular hot chocolate made with powder!), an apple crumble, a medialuna and 2 medialunas with ham and cheese. My favorite is definitely the “submarino” which you should try while in town. The service was standard, however the downside of this place is the acoustics… not over crowded, but real noisy! Not very pleasant to have to raise your voice to chat with your friends or family. If you take a walk along the beach and need a quick stop then it is ok, but I would not plan to stay and enjoy the view because of the noise level…

Excellent place for a merienda, with plenty of options and delicious food and coffee. The service was quick and efficient, and the place is quiet, fresh and has great views. Highly recommended in Mar del Plata.

Overprice for the view. Food is bad. Bread is hard. Burger medallion is dry. Pasta is old. Tables are dirty, a waiter is slow.

Lovely setting. Food of high quality. Great service!

The cafe has a great seaview and it really brings the atmosphere. Coffee was average and the service also. Tranqi😂

The service is impeccable. Great atmosphere with a beautiful view. The food, however, was average. Steak was bland, and still raw and hard to cut. I suggest they also serve the bread hot. The sauces were good. The prices are expensive even for foreigners.

A perfect spot for a cuppa of chai tea and green smoothie! Spectacular view! The lovely waitress was very helpful and managed to communicate with this English speaking tourist!!

Great view and nice people in this neighborhood 🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🌊⛱️🌊🏖️🏖️

Middle of hot summer water is still feels fresh ,with some wave , but it’s wide clean beach with nice people In afternoon around 2-3 pm on Sunday become really busy Enjoyed my time 🍻

Definitely the kind of place you need to relax, think or just have some fun, there's a space for anything you might want to do here in Mar Del Plata and of course then there's the beach you won't want to leave.

I am here since 2 hours and no Choclo, Cerveza or Pancho saleaman came by! This is the worst Mar del Plata Beach EVER!

Nice beach to go off season

Love it so much. The best in Argentina

One of the best spots in Mar Del Plata!

Wish they kept the place better for visitors to enjoy the true beauty of the building, its style and of course it inhabitants!

Cafest v1.0 2025

Educacional. Educational great place for some education

This historical house of the writer Victoria Ocampo was disappointed for me.Didnt have good maintenance, Almost not Family furnitures. They should charge 3 or more dollars and have it in better condition,or have a shop with merchandising to collect the money necessary!!!!

Lovely house and charming garden. Interesting exhibition about Victoria Ocampo. Regularly there are events and concerts. I went to a show CAFE CONCERT that was excellent with really talented artists.

For a while I felt I was in good ol' Southern Usa. Soothing place to have tea with friends and participate of a good cultural event if you know the language.

Beautiful and cosy atmosphere, one of the hotspots for enjoying warm summer nights. Dreamy and romantic!

A small but interesting observation deck. The view is good. But special thanks to the very caring staff. We were with a small child and they helped us quickly get through and accompanied us at every step.

It's a nice place for a quick visit, full of history and an excellent view of the city. While going upstairs, you'll literally be surrounded by 5k liters of water. The staff attention is perfect.

Beautiful view! Friendly assistants giving information. There was no entry fee.

31/1/25

It has a nice view and you can have an assisted tour around it In 20-45 mins you should be done there.

Magnificent architecture. Great view. You can walk down the stairs to the little museum after being at the top.

Well worth a visit. It looks closed when you get there, but if you ring the door bell someone will come and let you in. Great views from the top and you can take the lift or stairs. There are (poor quality) pictures of the construction of the tower and some old artefacts to view. There isn't much else to do in Mar del Plata apart from beach and shopping, so a welcome break.

Magical place in Sierra de los Padres near Mar del Plata. Plenty of vegetation and trees. Nice to trekking and camping a day around the lake. I took a hidden track with my 4x4 truck it was awesome.

Paz.

Very nice place

Good fishing

Relax visual

Relax

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place to visit if you are in Mar del Plata, nature, fresh air, tranquility and connection. You can bring everything for lunch to go camping or have a barbecue, with the precautions of the place because it is a natural reserve that we must all take care of. I share some photos of my experience. (Original) Un bello lugar para visitar si estas por mar del plata, naturaleza, aire puro, tranquilidad y conexión. Podes traerte todo para almorzar para hacer camping o hacerte un asado, con los recaudos del lugar porque es una reserva natural que debemos cuidar entre todos. Les comparto algunas fotitos de mi experiencia.

Impressive building with historical value. Nice facade and interior, although it was covered with a net to (I guess) protect visitors from bird droppings. It can be accesed freely and it is worth a detour if you are around.

A really beautiful and stunning cathedral

Beautiful and peaceful place! A must for a Catholic

An European church in the middle of Mar Del Plata. You can’t miss this spot!!

Awesome construction, lots of details.

Bellisimo

Beautiful. Worthy to go

Best beaches in the coast, a little bit far from everything.

(Translated by Google) 2.5 km of wide, clean, familiar and safe beach. Mogotes is divided into more than 20 paradores. It is the family beach par excellence. Equipped with spas suitable for children and seniors. Little or no influx of young groups, since they opt for the large beach and the south. (Original) 2.5 km de playa amplia, limpia, familiar y segura. Mogotes está dividido en mas de 20 paradores. Es la playa familiar por excelencia. Dotada de balnearios aptos niños y tercera edad. Poca o nula afluencia de grupos jovenes, ya que estos optan por playa grande y el sur.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful off-season... beautiful, large beaches, at least 100m of sand... no free parking and few public restrooms. (Original) Hermoso fuera de temporada... playas hermosas y grandes, por lo menos 100m de arena.. sin estacionamiento gratuito y pocos accesos con baños públicos.

(Translated by Google) It's huge and beautiful, it's a shame about the private resorts that think they have the right to take over everything. (Original) Es enorme y hermosa lastima los balnearios privados que se creen con derecho de copar todo

(Translated by Google) Wide beaches are free public access. Keep in mind that the parking is paid. They are private parking lots. They are numbered and have different prices, from $400 to $1,500 per turn. In my case, stations are crossing the route on a neighborhood street. You can also get there by bus. (Original) Playas amplia playas son de acceso público gratis a tener en cuenta qué los estacionamientos son pagos son playas de estacionamiento privadas están numeradas y hay de diferentes precios desde$400 a $1500 el turno en mi caso estaciones cruzando la ruta en una calle de barrio también se puede llegar en colectivo

(Translated by Google) By far the most beautiful beach in Mardel, wide and very good waves... highly recommended... parking varies from $600 to $900 per day... in season it is full the same but fewer people go there than in the center and quite familiar... few undesirable people... (Original) Lejos la playa más linda de mardel, amplias y muy buenas olas.. super recomendable.. el estacionamiento varía de 600$ a 900$ por día.. en temporada se llena igual pero va menos gente que al centro y bastante familiar.. poca gente indeseable..

(Translated by Google) The day we went, it was quite windy, so we couldn't enjoy it much! But it has great parking. It lacks trash receptacles, and the dirty people leave their trash on the beach instead of taking it with them. We had to pick up the mess left by others! Horrible! We need education! (Original) El día que fuimos había bastante viento, así no pudimos disfrutarla mucho! Pero tiene muy buen estacionamiento. Le faltan cestos de residuos, y la gente que es sucia, deja la basura en la playa en vez de llevársela. Nos pusimos nosotros a levantar la mugre que dejaron otros! Horrible! Nos falta Éducacion!

Good place, free entrance. But the contemporary art could be different, and in this museum I felt it was like meh… If you can mess around with things and pit them in a museum, it’s not enough to name it art. But the museum itself is good. If you have some time in Mar Del Plata, that’s a go-to place.

Great exhibition at MAR in Mar del Plata. Nice building, good atmosphere. Amazing "MONDONGO" art display.

Excellent modern museum. Free entrance from 12 to 20. Highly recommended.

You must go, it's an amazing museam. It looks bigger from the outside but the few expositions are amazing. Very modern infrastructure, it worth it.

A good hide out place. No English though. Far from downtown. Very petite place with 3 rooms (the 4th is closed) of less than 30 items to see. Not crowded. Very commercial with little to no Argentina theme.

Nice and marvelous place to see and appreciate exposures from many artists

This is small but cool museum. It has a lot of multimedia as well as some more traditional art pieces. Very family friendly and right across the street from the ocean, which makes it a unique experience. Not a destination in itself, but definitely one of the things to do while in Mar del Plata

Very beautiful park, and area in general. I was here in the winter, so it was very quiet but I imagine it's amazing in the summer.

Perfectly clean park, full of paths and garbish bins.

Great view of the ocean and the beach ...the sound of the waves hitting the coast is a plus. Go there and have some mates...😎

Beatifull place to take a walk o just stop to enjoy the ocean view.

Beautiful park very well kept. Nice sea view

One of the nicest parks in the city. It has the natural rock formations that used to be a landmark of MDQ.

Beautiful view. Nice place to walk and enjoy the ocean view.

Casa Vieja is one of the permanent stars in the Mar del Plata's culinary sky. They offer a good food at reasonable prices. Prices are not at budget levels but one gets a good value for his money. Fish and seafood dishes are very good and I found their pasta dishes excellent. Portions are generous, service is courteous. Because of its relative distance from the fashionable tourist spots, there is a good chance to secure a table at Casa Vieja on a short notice.

Good looking place and good ñoquis but its kinda dirty and no water came out of any of the bathrooms. There were flys around the restaurant nut overall good place. 8/10

Excellent as allways. They never fail. Incredible seafood, pasta and wonderful attention.

Hetmoso

Re piola alta lasagna

Delicious food!

(Translated by Google) This is a great place to eat seafood and fish. The place has history, which creates a special atmosphere... I highly recommend it. The service is excellent, and Silvia took great care of us. (Original) Muy bueno el lugar para comer Mariscos y Pescado, el lugar tiene historia, lo que genera un ambiente especial... lo recomiendo, La atención es muy buena y Silvia nos atendió 100%

A quiet ecological place worth visiting in contact with nature. I has a beach of its own..You can watch dolphins as in marine land

My family and i really enjoy our visit to Aquarium and recommended to all who wish to bring your kids.

Great place to enjoy a full family fun day!!!

Although the place is tired looking, the staff is friendly and seeing the birds and fish was relaxing. Loved the sea lions - full of personality! Enjoyable for any age group!

So sad for them, this was probably once a great place to visit, but now there are hardly any animals. I'd give this a miss.

Very expensive and many of the exhibits were closed. We weren't allowed on the beach where our children wanted to play in the rock pools but weren't allowed. The shark section which had been heavily advertised was closed. Half of the aquariums were empty. The outside children's play area was a plastic, broken slide. The dolphin show however was very good. We complained and asked to write in the complaints book. They then provided us with a free lunch which began to make up for it but when you're paying such high prices for entry you expect more.

Small but very nicely set and clean. The activity with the sea lions was very nice. Great for older kids/teenagers.

A lovely square and park in Mar del Plata that sees liveliness throughout the day and even night. The park is filled with benches and walkways so people can either rest or have a long stroll through the park. The vibe is pretty nice and I spent a few hours just enjoying the weather. The park is full of people with dogs, people just passing through, having a few drinks and just hanging out with each other. I felt very safe by myself and had no problem at all.

It is a pleasant area to walk your dog or just sitting to enjoy the Sun or being outdoor. It is right across from the Grand Casino and right on the other side you can walk along the beaches which span over several kilometers. We are here for the second time and we enjoy it as much as the first time. Although it could be a bit noisy since there are a lot of visitors, and many are coming from all over Argentina as well as foreigners coming in the Summertime. There is also a merry go around for kids at one of the corners of the Plaza.

We visited the Fallas Valencianas exhibit. There was a place where typical Buñuelos (fried cakes) were served. Very kind people. They hold this event yearly, they are descendants of original immigrants.

A decent place to walk around for tourists and locals

A must visit for all Mar Del Plata travellers. Lots of amenities and events always going on around here. Tons of people, amenities, events and the beach being right there make this an excellent and immersive destination.

It's nice. The food stands hussle for customers and are over priced. There are outdoor vendors that sell souvenirs at really good prices. The beach area is a bit dirtier than the sides that are closer to the port.

A beautiful square, very close to the beach. Mar del Plata is by far the most beautiful city in America

Bad experience, did not accept us dollars nether changed money for pesos

It would be five stars if they respected the laws. They don't respect the change law number 22.802, I went with a $99,04 ticket to be changed and according to the updated law they have to give me $100 but they even have a sign saying they don't give less than $100 bills, this IS illigal. Besides on the roulette the mininum is $10 ARS when it's less in other casinos. The place is marvelous as you can see in the pictures and becose of covid they let you go to the balcony with a view to the sea. But to resume they want to screw you even more than other casinos in Bs.As.

The casino at Mar del Plata center was an exciting visit, I really enjoyed the slot machines, the chandeliers were magnificent.

Nice casino with some quirks. There are pigeons inside, cruising the bar area. And the women's bathrooms are a disgrace for such a nice casino.

Stay away. Been to casinos in many cities around the world, appreciate a game (black jack or poker) for the entertainment, not necessarily driven by win or loss. The Central Casino in Mar del Plata doesn't offer a nice athmosphere, it is rather seedy and employees do not seem to enjoy their work or treat guests with respect. To top it up, the casino blatantly stole 1.500 pesos of chips from my colleague. When asked for the camera/footage, they refused and did not entertain further conversation.

Pretty bad. There's no way to get money to gamble inside of the casino. The machines don't scan money or slips half the time. So annoying. We all left because of the bad experience.

It's a bit run down and doesn't have a lot in the way of atmosphere. Staff are very friendly, though.

Beautiful church with regular masses on weekdays and weekends.

Beautiful, haunting church.

The most spectacular church

(Translated by Google) Very nice chapel that dates back to 1908, with its columns and frieze behind the altar that give it a depth that makes it seem like the sea is just there. Its blue and yellow majolica floor is very pretty. Easy access and street parking. (Original) Muy linda capilla que data de 1908, con sus columnas y friso detrás del altar que le dan una profundidad que lo hacen parecer que el mar está ahí nomás. Muy lindo su piso de mayolicas azules y amarillas. Fácil acceso y estacionamiento en la calle.

(Translated by Google) A haven of peace and neo-Gothic beauty on the Stella Maris hill. Impressive neo-Gothic architecture: a bell tower with a Westminster-style clock, a narthex, a rose window, and buttresses enhance the ensemble. – Interior carefully designed down to the smallest detail: a marble high altar with bronze and blue enamel, pointed arches, and a mural evoking the sea, added in 1940. Image of the Virgin Stella Maris, sculpted in marble in Paris by H. Weigel (a disciple of Rodin), with a pedestal simulating waves, a rock crystal crown, and a halo of stars. Inaugurated between 1910 and 1912 by the local community with a contribution from the Argentine Navy, it was the first church in the country to dedicate the worship of the Virgin Stella Maris, patron saint of fishermen and sailors. Tranquility and serenity prevail. The stained-glass windows filter the light, creating a contemplative atmosphere ideal for reflection or moments of connection. Spiritual. Visitors highlight the “peace,” “positive energy,” and a “special effect” around the altar. Simply beautiful. (Original) Un remanso de paz y belleza neogótica en la loma de Stella Maris" Impresionante arquitectura neogótica: torre‑campanario con reloj estilo Westminster, nártex, rosetón y contrafuertes que realzan el conjunto . – Interior cuidado hasta el mínimo detalle: altar mayor de mármol con bronce y esmalte azul, arcos ojivales y un mural que evoca el mar, insertado en 1940 . Imagen de la Virgen Stella Maris, esculpida en mármol en París por H. Weigel (discípulo de Rodin), con pedestal simulando olas, corona de cristal de roca y halo de estrellas . Inaugurada entre 1910–1912 por la comunidad local con aporte de la Armada argentina, fue la primera en el país en consagrar el culto a la Virgen Stella Maris, patrona de pescadores y marinos. Predominan la tranquilidad y serenidad. Los vitrales filtran la luz creando una atmósfera contemplativa ideal para reflexión o momentos de conexión espiritual. Los visitantes destacan “paz”, “energía positiva”, y un “efecto especial” alrededor del altar. Sencillamente hermosa.

(Translated by Google) For me, it has a unique feeling. I got married there exactly 50 years ago and it still has the same charms from that time, but apart from that beautiful memory, it is a church worth visiting; it is beautiful. (Original) Para mi tiene un sentir único, allí me case hace exactamente 50 años y sigue teniendo los mismos encantos de esa época, pero aparte de ese hermoso recuerdo; es una Iglesia para visitar, es bellísima

(Translated by Google) The church is beautiful, and the school is beautiful. My nephew goes to kindergarten and is happy. The church is beautiful, and listening to Father Omar is a pleasure. (Original) Hermosa la iglesia y hermoso el colegio. Mi sobrino va al jardín de infantes y está feliz. La iglesia es hermosa y escuchar al padre Omar da gusto.
